Classical & Jazz Piano Concert "A Tribute to Ina Chandor and the Music She Played"

Come enjoy this very special Classical & Jazz Piano Concert - "A Tribute to Ina Chandor and the music that she played" on the evening of March 9, 2024 at 7:00 P.M. (doors open at 6:30 P.M.), performed by the accomplished concert pianists; Dr. Hyeyoung Song and Fredrick Sanders, in the spectacular Great Room at the historic Chandor Gardens, Weatherford, TX.

Chandor Gardens Foundation recently purchased a 1979 Steinway & Son Model M Chippendale piano, which now permanently resides in the Great Room of Chandor Gardens. This piano is the same model and style of Steinway piano as Ina Chandor used to own and play for guests in the Great Room.

For this inaugural concert, with the newly acquired Steinway piano, it is only fitting to pay tribute to Ina Chandor and the music that she played. As such, the evening’s program will be made up of music selections which Ina Chandor may have played, during the 1930's through the early1950's, when she and Douglas Chandor lived in the home.

Ina Chandor was an accomplished pianist and often played for guests. She had a degree in Music from Texas Female Seminary and Conservatory of Music, Weatherford, TX. She took private lessons in classical music from Professor Harold von Mickwitz. Professor Mickwitz was Dean of Music at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, and was a piano teacher at the Institute of Musical Art (Juilliard), New York. Ina also studied under Eddy Duchin the distinguished American jazz pianist and bandleader of the 1930's and 1940's, known for his graceful and clever way of playing the piano referred to as the "Duchin style".

Enjoy complimentary drinks (selection of wine and beer) while you explore Chandor Gardens before the concert.
