Grammy-award winner Meredith Arwady and the multi-talented pianist Andrew Le will take the stage together for an unforgettable performance at the SCA!

An Evening with Meredith Arwady and & Andrew Le is offered in partnership with the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck (CMFS).

Reserved tickets are available for $25/each, or $35/each for premier tickets that include a post-show reception with the artists.

The performance will include cabaret and American Songbook favorites as well as opera selections sung by Arwady, who was just awarded the Best Opera Recording Grammy in 2012. Le, the first-place winner of the 2004 Hilton Head International Piano Competition and Co-CMFS Artistic Director, will accompany Arwardy, as well as perform solo pieces on the piano.

“This concert marks a celebration of anniversaries for our organizations,” shares Kristin Armstrong, SCA Executive Director. “2012 is the 25th anniversary of the Chamber Music Festival and the 10th anniversary for the Saugatuck Center for the Arts. We thought co-hosting a concert with truly outstanding performers would be the perfect way to celebrate with – and thank the community – for helping us both reach these milestones.”

Grammy-award winning contralto Meredith Arwady is also a winner of the 2004 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Her style is described by the New York Times as having a “deep, dark vocal richness and expressive nobility.” In the summer of 2012, she will perform Mahler’s 8th Symphony at the Aspen Music Festival. Born in Michigan, Arwady graduated from Hope College and received a Master of Music degree from the Curtis Institute of Music.

In addition to his post with the CMFS, Dr. Andrew Le (Drew) is currently Head of Keyboard Studies and Associate Professor of Piano at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. Described as "individualistic without a trace of contrivance or eccentricity" by critic Harris Goldsmith of the New York Concert Review, Drew is known for his exciting, engaging, and artistically sensitive performances. He holds a Doctor of Music Arts degree from the Juilliard School.
