Eric Genuis to Perform Free Concert at Christendom

Internationally recognized classical musician Eric Genuis will perform at Christendom College on Thursday, November 6, 2003, at 8:00 p.m. The hour-long free concert will be held in Christendom's St. Lawrence Commons in Front Royal and will be followed by a reception. Genuis will be accompanied by violinist William Merimee.

Since the age of seven when he played his first tentative notes, music has been more than simple entertainment to Genuis. Years of dedication brought first class performance honors and success in international piano competition and as the young composer matured, he brought to life in words and music his other great passion, the Catholic Faith. An internationally recognized classical musician, composer and performer, in 1988, Eric achieved first-class honors with a Piano Performance Degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, Canada.

From the serene and reflective moods of albums like No Greater Love and Truth Never Changes to the classically influenced instrumental collection Eternity, this gifted young songsmith has crafted a distinctive sound that ranges from majestic to meditative and can be appreciated by all audiences. As solo piano gives way to lush, sweeping string arrangements, this is contemporary music that is never banal or superficial, but instead communicates an award-winning musician's genuine passion for the peace and joy to be found in the Catholic Faith.

The appeal of Eric Genuis and his music have been proven in concert tours around the US and the world. In addition to his solo career, he often performs with RADIX, providing soul stirring instrumental accompaniment to Doug Barry's powerful Meditation on the Passion of Christ. In these live performances, audiences experience both the depth of faith communicated through Eric's melodies and lyrics, and also his own heartfelt explanations of the symbolism and imagery to be found in them.
