This season’s “Women in Music Festival” focuses on the role women have had on both music composition and performance in our history. The next performers are the talented Piano & Organ Duo Mus-Art, Maria Teresa Sierra and Raúl Prieto Ramirez. Spanish piano virtuoso from Barcelona with several competition prizes, pianist Maria Teresa Sierra will join San Diego Civic Organist Raúl Prieto Ramirez for a concert widely demanded. The piano and organ duo will join forces presenting widely popular pieces like Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Beethoven’s piano Concerto No.5 “The Emperor”. The concert features a display of virtuosity combining the power of the Spreckels Organ and the delicacy of a concert piano, provided by Steinway Piano Gallery of San Diego.
