The UWF Department of Music will present Mozart & Beyond - Steinway/ Bösendorfer Piano Celebration on Saturday, January 28 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held in the Rolfs Music Hall at the Center for Fine & Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola campus.

In 2007, due to the generous gift of Helen Wentworth, the UWF Department of Music became an “All-Steinway School”. At that time, UWF was only the second University with this distinction in the state of Florida. In 2021, the Dr. Grier Williams School of Music received an Imperial Bösendorfer as part of a generous legacy gift from Dr. Herman Emil & Valerie Wawrzyniak Rolfs. These remarkable donors have given these music students great tools for growth as musicians for generations to come.

In honor of Helen and Warren Wentworth, the department initiated an Annual Steinway Piano Showcase and the celebration has become a popular annual event in the community. We continue this tradition with the annual piano celebration of the gift and showcasing the incredible work of our piano majors.

For this year’s celebration, the talented pianists from the studios of Dr. Hedi Salanki-Rubardt and Mr. Blake Riley will perform a program including works by Mozart, Schubert, Ginastera, Albeniz, Bartok, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, as well as others.

Since becoming an All-Steinway School many of these piano students moved on to continue their studies at top graduate music programs such as the Cleveland Institute of Music, Florida State University, Belmont University, Louisiana State University, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Tennessee, Michigan State University, Montclair University to name a few.

This event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required. For more information or to reserve tickets, please contact the CFPA Box Office at 850.857.6285.

Join several local scientists and climate advocates as they hold a “teach-in” on the science of climate change using the recently released National Climate Assessment (NCA). The NCA is a comprehensive report on climate change in the U.S. and is published every four years, representing the combined work of dozens of Federal agencies and many of the nation’s top scientists.

Hotter temperatures, stronger hurricanes, heavier rainstorms, and the resulting impacts on public health and the economy are just a few of the impacts of climate change on Pensacola and the Gulf Coast. The teach-in is an intensive session of climate science and impacts for a general audience, helping local residents learn more about the epic challenge of our time, how Pensacola is already being impacted, and the decisions we can make now to help protect our community.

Presenters include:

Goldie Kpeli, a University of West Florida (UWF) graduate student studying the effects of climate change on public health in the southeast;

Jay McGee, who holds a BS in biology from the University of West Florida and led UWF’s 100% Renewable Campus Campaign;

Larry Chamblin, a longtime Pensacola climate advocate who hosted Pensacola’s first public conversation on climate change in 2007; and

Christian Wagley, who holds a master’s degree in biology/coastal zone studies from the University of West Florida and is an environmental advocate for the nonprofit group Healthy Gulf.

Please join us for an interactive presentation and discussion!

The presentation is part of a regular speaker series on climate change and related issues sponsored by 350 Pensacola, Healthy Gulf and Climate Together Pensacola. For more information: christian@healthygulf.org
