MARS HILL miBBBjj A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE THROUGH SERVICE AND LEARNIN'' Friday, September 13. 1991 ARIEL mittee with the assistance of a consult ant.

Earl Leininger Vice President and Dean of the College Comes to Moore In today’s music world, more is definite ly better. High-tech gimmicks are as im portant as melodies and lyrics. So how is it that a young Russian-American musician is rocking audiences back on their heels with one grand piano and his ten fingers? Pop and rock pianist Ariel has secret weapons; his incredible musical technique and his brilliant showmanship are captivating audien ces all over the nation. You won’t want to miss this international sensation (and green-card event) on September 23, 1991 at 8:00 pm in Moore Auditorium. Even critics fall under the spell of this fas cinating musician with the movie-idol looks. Reviewers have called him "con sistently dazzling" and praised his "ex quisite technique and . . . astonishing power"; Variety, the bible of the enter tainment industry, proclaimed: Ariel’s romantic approach wows the audience both in narration and at the keyboard". To top it off, Ariel’s story is a Hollywood producer’s dream. Born in Kishinev, Russia, Ariel was a musical prodigy enrolled in the Nation al Children’s School of Music at age five. Soviet officials decreed he would study violin; afewwell-placed payments by his family got him on as a piano student, his chosen instrument. Those payments may have lasting implications for the world of piano music. Based now is Los Angeles, this magnetic young performer sees his music, and his life thus far, in a broader context as well. 'The world is changing much faster than I could ever have imagined. 1 think it is a time when artists have a very impor tant job to do. One reason that artists create is so that people will share values, opinions, and philosophies. What I have done with my music, fusing two styles, techniques, and art forms, is what is happening all over the world as we learn from each other and borrow ideas from other cultures. music transcends differences in societies or ideologies, because it communicates at the most basic level. Music is the voice of our soul."
