Concert to feature song and dance

FALLBROOK – Violinist Richard Conviser is offering a series of occasional concerts with pianist Dustin Callahan on the patio of his Pot of Gold at 750 Stewart Canyon Road, Fallbrook.

Their next concert will be Sunday, Sept. 8, at 4:30 p.m. and is called "Song and Dance (and Then Some)." It will feature songs by Cole Porter and George Gershwin, plus "Spanish Dances" by Moritz Moszkowsky, as well as Robert Schumann’s "Fantasiestücke," all performed on violin and piano.

Conviser is a seasoned performer and violin teacher as well as a composer. He and Callahan are collaborating on a project with soprano Camila Lima, recording 30 songs he composed for soprano, violin, and piano based on poems written by 13th century Persian mystic Jelaluddin Rumi. Conviser has performed several of the songs at events headlining poet and Fallbrook resident Craig Lozzi at both the Library and Hilltop House.

Callahan moved to Fallbrook from Orange County a year ago and both teaches and performs on the piano. He has his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in piano performance and composition.

There is a nominal admission charge to attend the concerts; wine, water and locally produced citrus juice will be available. For more information, contact Conviser at (760) 666-0826 or [email protected].
