Performing at Thrasher Opera House
Liz Story has established herself as one of the most
distinctive composers and pianists of the new
instrumental music that emerged in the 1980's. In
her music, the three-time Grammy nominee fashions a
deeply personal style, balancing physical prowess
against delicate moods, colors and textures, which
take shape at the elusive transitions between
classical, jazz and folk. Story remarkably captures
the irreplaceable warmth and feeling of an acoustic
piano on a live concert stage. Her performances
exude emotion and personality while displaying her
instrument's equally dynamic range. Diversity is a
Story trademark throughout.
Story is a great big breath of fresh air. She lets her phrases unfold in the manner of a classical sonata, draws them out with a bit of rubato, throws in a few jazz chords, changes key at odd moments, gets excited and dances around the composed music with little improvisatory flourishes. Her tunes are by turns passionate, springy, tender, and sobering, but always provocative. |

ˇ As far back as 1000 A.D., Native American Indians
raised turkeys for food. Aztec Indians in Mexico were
raising them as early as 200B.C.
ˇ Turkeys originally existed in the eastern United States and Mexico. ˇ The turkey industry grosses over $1billion a year. ˇ The Average American consumes over 15 pounds of Turkey per year. ˇ Americans consume over 675 million pounds of turkey on Thanksgiving Day. ˇ Turkey, like poultry, is lower in cholesterol than beef and many other meats. The dark meat (thigh, legs,) contains more fat and cholesterol than white meat. So, that's why dark meat tastes so good! ˇ Male Turkeys are called "Toms", female turkeys are called "Hens" and baby turkeys are called "poults". ˇ Turkey eggs are tan in color and speckled with brown. They are about twice as large as chicken eggs. ˇ In 1947, the first Presidential pardon was ceremoniously given to a turkey. ˇ That long, loose skin that hangs down from a turkey's neck is called a "wattle". ˇ Sleepy after the big meal? Turkey contains an amino acid called "Tryptophan". Tryptophan sets off a chemical chain reaction that calms you down and makes you sleepy. |
