Arts on the Square, a cultural series featuring musical performances and art exhibitions, will present a concert by pianists Ruth Slenczynska and Shelly Moorman-Stahlman. It will be livestreamed on Facebook from the sanctuary of historic Market Square Presbyterian Church, 20 S. Second St., Harrisburg, on Sunday, March 28, at 4 p.m. The concert may be accessed for free.

Slenczynska, 96, is the last living student of legendary Russian composer, pianist and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff. Slenczynska was born in 1925 in Sacramento, Calif., and began to study piano at age 3. She moved to Europe at age 4 to study with several noted pianists, including Rachmaninoff.

Slenczynska made her public debut in Berlin at age 6 and in Paris at 7, performing with a full orchestra. She has had an extensive career of live performances all over the world and has made many recordings.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, she was on her way to Japan to perform. After spending several months in California with friends, she arrived to Pennsylvania to visit with former student Moorman-Stahlman. Moorman-Stahlman, a professor of music at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, is a renowned piano and organ performer. The two pianists have spent time playing duets during quarantine, leading to this program of works by Beethoven, Faure and Rachmaninoff.

The performance, to be played on the church's recently rebuilt Steinway D grand piano, will be livestreamed at http://www.facebook.com/marketsquarechurch.
