International Steinway Artist to Play at Westminster College

Caroline Oltmanns, an international Steinway artist and Fulbright scholar, will give a piano recital Tuesday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.

The program features classical music composed by Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Claude Debussy, and Frederic Chopin.

Oltmanns has played on radio stations heard in Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Rochester, and Cape Town, South Africa.  She has also performed on television stations in Chicago, and San Bernadino, Cal.  She has recorded several solo and chamber music CDs, and her most recent 2004 solo CD included works by Chopin, Wilding, and Beethoven.

Oltmanns will play Westminster's model "D" concert grand Steinway, the largest piano that Steinway makes.  It was given to Westminster by the extended Mansell family in memory of Margaret Louise Young Mansell.  Margaret and her husband, Thomas V. Mansell, are both 1929 Westminster College graduates and long-time New Wilmington residents.

The event is free and open to the public.  For more information, contact the Westminster College Department of Music at (724) 946-7270.
