Northern Lights

Northern Lights is a program of Finnish piano works from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Gail Olszewski has played and loved these pieces for many years. She has been heard in solo and chamber recitals on piano, fortepiano, harpsichord, organ, harmonium, celesta and synthesizer in the United States, Canada, Europe, Central America and Australia. She lives in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area where she has a varied free-lance career as a collaborative keyboardist, concertizing with members of the Minnesota Orchestra and St. Paul Chamber Orchestra among others. The works are played on an 1877 Bluthner grand piano that is an ideal instrument for these works.
