Temple Sinai is pleased to present a special performance by American piano virtuoso David Syme, at the temple at 7 p.m. on Monday, November 18. Symes long and colorful career includes performances at major concert halls in the United States and Europe, such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Wigmore Hall and other major venues in nearly 20 European countries, Canada and Mexico. A portion of proceeds from the concert will support Temple Sinais religious school and education programs.Symes concerts have been described as remarkable, charismatic, and dynamic, while emotionally moving and intellectually stimulating. Among his repertoire are Beethoven sonatas, the Schumann Carnaval, Bach, Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, and Rachmaninoff. While he is a classical concert pianist, he has also played many variations from child prodigy to youthful forays into rock and jazz. His Rock Formations series takes classic rock hits and translates them to beautiful piano tunes such as Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody. An alumnus of Juilliard and Indiana University, Syme was a protg of the legendary Jorge Bolet and also studied with Ozan Marsh, Sascha Gorodnitzki, Ania Dorfmann, Louis Kentner and Constance Keene. He now lives on the southwest coast of Ireland, where he has a highly -acclaimed in-home concert series. He continues to tour internationally, as well as performing at Steinway galleries, synagogues and other smaller venues. He has recorded 20 CDs with orchestras, such as the Royal Philharmonic, Vienna Symphony, and the Czech National Symphony.
