This is the chapel at Park University. This is the building, where 76 years ago, when I was a 17-year-old freshman at Park, I was required to attend church services in the morning and evening and chapel four days a week. Not that I minded, but quite different than today. This afternoon I returned to this chapel building, with Jan, to enjoy some of the finest music that you will hear in America. It was a part of Park University's Third Annual Student Research and Creative Arts Symposium. On my Pictures Website---Picasaweb.google.com/larryrsmith8---you will see other pictures of the campus (just as I remember it) and you will see me seated in the chapel in the approximate same seat where I sat 76 years ago. And more important, you will see all of the eight performers of this afternoon and individual pictures of two of the performers (both from Uzbekistan): Behzod Abduraimov, pianist and Sunnat Ibragimov, cellist. Also pictured, Marina Sultanova, piano professor, mother of the renowned Stanislav Loudenitch, who is Artistic Director of the International Center for Music at Park In yesterday's blog, I stated that eight years from now you will have to pay $400 to hear Behzod at Lincoln Center in New York. After hearing them today, make it at least $500, each, for Behzod and Sunnat, Cellist Extraordinary.
