presents classical guitarist Jeffrey Bianchi as the first performing artists for 2012 Kinna Chamber Concert series. Bianchi will be performing at Cultural Arts Center on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 3 p.m. Tickets for the Kinna Chamber Concert are available for $15 a person, $12 for CAC members and $5 for students.

A graduate of the State University of New York at Fredonia, Bianchi studied under the renowned guitarist James Piorkowski. “The primary aim of a musician is to take the results of their hard work and make a positive impact on as many lives as possible,” stated Bianchi who has dedicated his life to music for the past 19 years.

For Bianchi, playing for an audience is an essential and natural part of life. Bianchi is a four-time recipient of the Dauphin Award, a two-year winner of the Hillman Memorial Music Scholarship and the Performer's Certificate Award. He was also member of the Fredonia Guitar Quartet with whom he toured with throughout the Northeast. In February 2010, Bianchi undertook his first cross-country solo tour. Making stops in Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, he gave concerts for audiences as large as 600 people.

On Sunday, March 11, local pianist and retired music educator George Mann will perform for the second 2012 Kinna concert.  This year the day and time of the Kinna concerts has been changed–rather than on second Saturday evenings for three months, the two concerts will be offered on Sunday afternoons at the Cultural Arts Center. A third concert featuring a string ensemble may be added in April if sponsors come forward to contribute additional support.
