TACONIC OPERA ORCHESTRA – Concertos in D: Ravel’s Concerto for Left Hand in D Major plus a World Premiere, Matinee May 9, 2026

May 9 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
$28 – $48

Come join us at the Tarrytown Music Hall, known for its acoustical excellence.

 

Currently celebrating its 28th Season and past recipient of the ArtsWestchester Organization of the Year Award, Taconic Opera invites you to enjoy two piano concertos in one concert: Maurice Ravel’s incomparable Concerto for Left Hand in D Major, and the world premiere of Dan Montez’s Piano Concerto #2 in D Minor.

 

Both pieces will be performed on a concert grand by rising star, Kessa Mefford, along with the full Taconic Opera Orchestra conducted by the company’s Musical Director, Jun Nakabayashi. For Mefford, an award-winning pianist who specializes in the works of Ravel, this concert will be the culmination of an eight-year project, Whimsical Birdsong, where she has publicly performed every work that includes piano by the composer.

 

In addition to an extraordinary performance at the Music Hall in 2025, other appearances include a 2022 historic Carnegie Hall debut featuring all of the composer’s art songs, a special episode on WQXR radio’s Young Artists Showcase, tours of libraries, colleges and universities throughout the US offering both performances and lectures, and being a featured artist with the Piatigorsky Foundation. She also offers Piano at Noon, a monthly live performance at her studio in Peekskill.

 

Dan Montez, the General Director of Taconic Opera, is an accomplished composer along with other music-related skills. In addition to concertos and sonatas, he has written several oratorios, art songs and an opera. His oratorio, Moses, recently debuted in Westchester County.
