EUREKA – The 3rd annual Cynthia Atterbury Piano Duet Recital will be at 4 p.m. Feb. 19 in McCallister Hall in the Chapel at Eureka College. It is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.

Ten Eureka College students, alumni and faculty members will perform on a Vose and Sons 7-foot grand piano that was donated by Eureka College Trustee R. Rennie Atterbury III.

It has been rebuilt and is encased in the original fruitwood cabinetry.
The recital will include works for two pianos and four hands utilizing the Vose and Sons piano and a Steinway concert grand piano. It will feature works by Claude Debussy, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Brahms, Francis Poulenc, George Gershwin, Moritz Moszkowski and Camille Saint-Saens.
