"From Rags to Riches" - A solo piano concert by Kara Huber

The Charlotte House Series connects musicians to the local community in homes throughout Kansas City, starting with one on Charlotte Street where it was founded. While aiming to provide a unique concert experience accessible to all audiences, the Series cherishes a music tradition that has seemingly been forgotten, that of a salon style in which music was often performed in small settings such as parlors or living rooms. Popular in Europe throughout much of the 19th century, the salon was not only a setting for musicians of the time to perform but also for composers themselves to showcase new works. Pieces performed in such spaces regularly featured a high degree of virtuosity and showmanship, and the intimate nature of such venues was conducive to an elegance and nostalgia found in much of the other music of the era as well. Through attending concerts in living rooms and intimate spaces we hope you enjoy a new way of experiencing music, the old way.We invite you to join us for an upcoming concert!The Charlotte House Series is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization

Charlotte House Series

A salon-style solo piano concert featuring Grammy-nominated pianist, Kara Huber. Join us!

Beacon Hill

The Charlotte House Series is thrilled to welcome Dr. Kara Huber back to the Series to kick off its third season. A Grammy-nominated Canadian-American pianist, Dr. Huber is quickly establishing herself as a celebrated member of the new class of concert pianists. Hailed as “absolutely dazzling…in a word, flawless” (New York Concert Review) in her Carnegie Hall debut, Dr. Huber combines the polish and warmth of an old-school soloist with the charisma and flare of the new generation of piano virtuosi.Dr. Huber has received numerous prizes and awards for her performances, including the Audience Favorite Award in the Cincinnati World Piano Competition. She received training from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music with Awadagin Pratt and The Glenn Gould School of The Royal Conservatory of Music with John Perry and Leon Fleisher. Dr. Huber recently completed a DMA in piano and conducting at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and is faculty at the University of Louisville School of Music.Dr. Huber will be performing a concert inspired by poetry and Ragtime featuring works by Brahms, Schumann, and Scott Joplin. The theme is not only a nod to Ragtime but also embodies the journey of one of the composers on the program, Amy Beach. Perhaps it is also representative of the journey all of us have endured over the past year and a half.A wine reception with light appetizers and an artist meet-and-greet will follow the concert. We hope you can join us!PROGRAMBallade Op. 6 - Amy Beach Bolts of Loving Thunder - Missy Mazzoli Ballades Op. 10, Nos. 1, 2 - Brahms Ballade in D Minor Ballade in D MajorSongs - Robert Schumann, arr.
