The selection of music includes classical as well as some contemporary pieces of both the secular and sacred genre.
A special feature of Sunday’s recital will be the “Roberts Church Sonata for Piano and Organ” that was composed in 1989 for the centennial of the Episcopal Church of St. John Baptist in Capitola, Calif. The Church Sonata is in three movements: Prelude, Communion and Postlude. Sunday’s performance by Fleming and pianist Anthony Antolini is in commemoration of the centennial of Myron Roberts’ birth. He died in 2004 at the age of 92.
A reception will follow the recital in St. John’s McCabe Hall with light refreshments and the opportunity to meet and talk with Fleming.
