The Dean's List, Season 2
Nineteen faculty members from the Mary Pappert School of Music have once again made the Dean鈥檚 List, and they will be joined by seven guest artists for another joyful season of chamber music at 香蕉视频鈥檚 intimate PNC Recital Hall. Music on the Bluff marks its 24th season as one of Pittsburgh鈥檚 most 鈥渢ruly memorable鈥 series, with a 鈥渟tellar reputation.鈥 Each Sunday afternoon concert includes a pre-concert visit with Dean David Allen Wehr and his colleagues and a reception, where the audience has a chance to visit with the artists. Concerts often sell out, so buying a season ticket is the best way to secure your seats for all four concerts.
