Cartoons and Classical
The Montauk Library will present “Moving Pictures: Classical Music in Cartoons,” a free piano concert by Alina Kiryayeva, Sunday at 3:30 p.m. The program is inspired by several cartoons from American animation’s golden age, which featured such characters as Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, and Tom and Jerry as concert artists playing the works of important classical composers.
A native of Ukraine, Ms. Kiryayeva has won prizes in many international piano competitions and has toured Russia, Mexico, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Holland, Japan, and the United States. Her program will include works by Chopin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Liszt.
