Clayton Piano Festival to Present Annual Valentine's Day Gala

Adriana Velinova

For more than just dinner out, surprise your Valentine in 2019 with dinner, wine and keys…88 of them to be precise.  This year, Clayton Piano Festival teams up with Brick and Mortar Events on Valentine’s Day, February 14, for a spectacular evening of entertainment from world-class musicians.

“This is a special concert for Clayton Piano Festival because we always have multiple performers sharing the stage.  This lends a tremendous amount of variety to the program and a good-natured camaraderie and collaboration between performers”, says Jonathan Levin, the festival’s founder.  “It’s also just a lot of fun!”

The magic of love, life, and music is celebrated with an eclectic program of classical music, jazz and art songs by Jazzical® creator and pianist Joel A. Martin joining special guest soprano, Adriana Velinova. A pianist, composer and producer, Joel has collaborated with and/or written music for Grammy® Award-winners Kathleen Battle, Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, and Alan Menken. Adriana Velinova is a Bulgarian lyric soprano living in New York City.  She has performed in prestigious venues throughout the US including Carnegie Hall and Tanglewood Music Center. 

Together they will bring you some of the world's most incredible music in an inimitable style - just one part of this lavish, one-stop romantic outing. This event is a favorite among followers of CPF's performances and newcomers alike.  It includes a full course meal, cash bar, and reception afterwards, where attendees can mingle with the performers.

“We’re excited about this collaboration with Brick and Mortar Events.  This is a unique and elegant venue and I think it’s a perfect place for a Valentine’s Day outing, whether you desire an intimate evening with your spouse or significant other, or just a fun night out with family or friends,” Jonathan explains. “The event promises to be a very enjoyable, laid back and festive evening for everyone, performers included!

Dinner begins at 6:30pm and ticket prices are $50 General; $45 Seniors 65 and over.  Includes concert, full course meal, and reception.  To reserve tickets, visit claytonpianofestival.org/vday2019.  For more information about Clayton Piano Festival go to claytonpianofestival.org.   Brick and Mortar Events is located in the heart of historic downtown Clayton at 217 East Main Street.
