Husband & Wife Concert Pianists Perform
First Presbyterian of Vero Beach hosts Duo Beaux Arts February 23
(VERO BEACH, FL) February 10, 2025 – Married concert pianist sensations, Catherine Lan and Tao Lin perform under the name Duo Beaux Arts. The couple will concertize for area residents at 4:00 PM on Sunday, February 23 at First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach, 520 Royal Palm Boulevard. Duo Beaux Arts will present an exciting program of compositions for solo and duet piano music, as well as the complete Piano Concerto No. 3 by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, which Prokofiev himself described as “devilishly difficult.” Dr. Lan will solo on the Prokofiev, while Steinway Artist Lin will delight the audience with Claude Debussy’s dreamy Clair de Lune. Duo Beaux Arts is in high demand on international stages, having performed in Spain, Estonia, Finland, Canada, Switzerland, France, Hungary, and the Netherlands. The one-hour concert on February 23 will mark the third appearance by Duo Beaux Arts for audiences at First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach. Admission is free. For more information, call (772) 562-9088.
Dr. Jacob Craig, Director of Music and Arts at First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach, is a talented pianist in his own right. Even so, he recognizes the extraordinary ability of Duo Beaux Arts.
“We are more than thrilled for the return of this musical couple to Vero Beach,” said Dr. Craig. “Both are incredible, and Catherine is soon to be featured on the Prokofiev with the South Florida Symphony — but our audience will get to experience her unique talent first.”
The concert by Duo Beaux Arts is just one of many events sponsored or hosted by First Presbyterian Church of Vero Beach, known for its musical and artistic outreach to the Central Florida community. Concert donations directly benefit the Music and Arts Department and help fund the appearance of quality musical groups throughout the year.
