The Wenatchee Valley College Foundation will host a free Piatigorsky Foundation concert featuring pianist Doris Stevenson on Wednesday, March 20 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at The Grove Recital Hall, located in the Music and Art Center (MAC) on the Wenatchee campus. A wine reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. This event is open to the public and seating is first come, first served. 

Stevenson has been performing for the Piatigorsky Foundation since it began presenting concerts more than 25 years ago, playing in schools, libraries, prisons, and remote communities. In her career, she has soloed with the Boston Pops, played at Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Salle Pleyel in Paris, and Suntory Hall in Tokyo. Early in her career, Stevenson was invited by Heifetz and Piatigorsky to perform with them in their chamber concerts. As a pianist for the cello master classes of Piatigorsky, she was described as “an artist of the highest order.”

Her music recordings include the Saint Saens violin sonatas with Andres Cardenes, the complete Mendelssohn cello works with Jeffrey Solow, as well as three CDs with cellist Nathaniel Rosen: the Brahms Sonatas, plus two albums of romantic pieces entitled "Reverie" and "Orientale." Stevenson taught for ten years at the University of Southern California, is a founding member of the Sitka Summer Music Festival in Alaska and has been Artist in Residence at Williams College since 1987.
