TOC presents Lunchtime FREE Concerts every FIRST and THIRD Wednesday of the month. Our gift to the community for over 56 years, join us in person or on our Youtube Channel.
Pianist David Rothman has delighted TOC audiences with performances of the entire Schubert Cycle, Mozart Cycle, and all of Chopin’s solo piano pieces. With accompanist Michael Barnes, on the organ, Rothman has also played the Rachmaninoff Third and Brahms Second Piano Concerto at TOC.
At age six, Mr. Rothman began to study the piano, and at ten, he was accepted into the Yehudi Menuhin School in England. Nadia Boulanger was among the panel who accepted Mr. Rothman intothe school. At seventeen, he was accepted into the Curtis Institute where he studied with Mieczyslaw Horszowski.
David Rothman presently lives in Portland, Oregon and is a frequent guest artist on The Old Church’s Lunchtime Concert Series
