The PianoForte Salon Series produced by the PianoForte Foundation, is a weekly live radio broadcast promoting exceptional artists from Illinois and beyond to over 45,000 listeners a week. Marjorie M. Rusche and Hsiao-Ling Lin are two such artists. Dr. Rusches composition MODERN MIXTURES: Piano Sonata 1. Cantabile Rondo, 2. Misterioso, 3. Scherzo, a significant work of 18 minutes duration, fuses international modernist, American vernacular and Georgian folk music in a three movement piano sonata. Her award winning works are radio broadcast and performed to positive critical and audience acclaim in a wide variety of venues from Vienna to San Francisco, New York to Kenya and Chicago. A versatile performer, pianist Hsiao-Ling Lin has performed widely as soloist and chamber musician in the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Russia, Australia, and her native Taiwan.

I am pleased to be part of the ever-growing Chicago new music community says Dr. Rusche, and I am honored to be invited by and included in the PianoFortes Friday Salon Series, and am delighted to be collaborating with the stellar Ms. Lin in the rehearsal and premiere presentation of MODERN MIXTURES: Piano Sonata. She is extraordinarily skilled technically, musically expressive and stylistically flexible.
