Pianist Adam Fellegi To Perform on Island
Concerts Slated for July 8 to July 17

Hungarian classical pianist Adam Fellegi will be performing several concerts on the Island from July 8 to July 17, the first of which will be with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra. Mr. Fellegi has performed around the world and has taught Master courses in the United States and Canada and at the Liszt and Bartok Festival in Paris.

Friday, July 8, at 7 p.m. Mr. Fellegi will perform with the Chicago Chamber Orchestra at Mission Point Theater, with proceeds to benefit the Mackinac Island Community Foundation. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under and are available at the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau and at the door.

The presence of the Chicago Chamber Orchestra was made possible with support from Edison Sault Electric through the Wisconsin Energy Corporation Foundation.

The Chicago Chamber Orchestra will also hold a special performance and workshop for children at 11 a.m. that morning. Klassics for Kids is an educational program for children ages 3 to 12. There is no admission cost for the show, although donations are accepted.

In addition to these concerts, Mr. Fellegi will appear as a soloist Thursday, July 14, in a recital at the Inn on Stonecliffe for registered guests staying at Stonecliffe, Sunset Condominiums, and Lakebluff Condominiums.

Mr. Fellegi will also perform a series of intimate recitals at Moondance Cottage at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 10, Monday, July 11, and Friday, July 15. Tickets for the solo recitals are also $20 for adults, and $10 for children 16 and under.

Moondance Cottage owner Dr. Robert Spitzer will be hosting the events, and may be contacted for more information about the cottage recitals at his Island home at 847-6151. He has been working through the winter to bring the Chicago Chamber Orchestra and Mr. Fellegi to the Island.

He says of Mr. Fellegi, “He is one of the great pianists in the world, quite literally, and I am trying to convey this to everyone who has not yet heard him.”
