Adni plays twice, a third concert tonight

World-renowned Isreali pianist Daniel Adni played Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto to perfection Thursday evening and again Sunday afternoon to a full house at the 500-seat USCB Performing Arts Center, Beaufort, accompanied by the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra under the direction of its maestro, Fred Devyatkin. Mr. Adni will complete his five-day visit to Beaufort Monday evening with a wide-ranging concert of piano favorites to be presented free at 7:00 p.m. at Sea Island Presbyterian Church, Lady’s Island.

Daniel Adni has come to Beaufort under the guiding hand of local music angel Martha Hoke, who sponsored Mr. Adni’s visit and his performances here. She became aware of his artistry in Britain when she attended the Romanian Arts and Music Festival two years ago, which was sponsored by her close friends. She and Mr. Adni began a correspondence that led to this opportunity for him to perform with the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra.

The stage at the performing arts center has seen many great piano artists over the years, going as far back as the early 1950s when the great American pianist William Kapell played on this stage. None has had greater accomplishment than Mr. Adni. He studied at the Paris Conservatory under Vlado Perlmuter and won the school’s first prize three times. Then he was awarded top honors at the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, sharing the accomplishment with fellow pianists Murray Perahia and Emanuel Ax. Since then he has become a concert artist of the highest rank, playing with every major orchestra in the world under the batons of conductors such as Sir Georg Solti, Sergiu Commissiona, Lorin Maazel and Zubin Mehta, and now with Beaufort’s own symphony orchestra.

The concert hall of Beaufort’s performing arts center has but 17 rows of seats, making the occupant of each seat feel as if he or she were sitting front row and center. Coupled with acoustics that project the sound of each instrument clearly, the hall is a perfect small and intimate venue for performing artists.

The concerts here on Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon pushed the Beaufort Symphony Orchestra to perhaps its highest achievement yet in its 24-year life, playing three Beethoven compositions over the course of two hours: the Egmont Overture, the lengthy Emperor Concerto accompaniment to Mr. Adni’s piano, and the complete Fifth Symphony. The test of the success of a performance of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is goosebumps, which appeared spontaneously in profusion as conductor Fred Devyatkin brought the orchestra to the crescendo of the final movement. The full-house audience stood and shouted bravos in appreciation.

Daniel Adni will complete his visit to Beaufort Monday evening when he presents selections from his wide-ranging repertoire that runs the gamut from Beethoven to Chopin to Gershwin. The Monday event begins at 7:00 p.m. at Sea Island Presbyterian Church on Lady’s Island. Admission is free with voluntary contributions invited.
