Eric Heukeshoven, Music Department, was one of three featured pianists in the dedication concert of the newly acquired Yamaha grand piano at Crucifixion Catholic Church and School in La Crescent on April 22.
Heukeshoven performed two improvised selections from his ongoing exploration of the music of jazz composer Billy Strayhorn: the haunting impressionistic ballad “A Flower is a Lovesome Thing,” and one of Strayhorn’s best-known works, “Take the ‘A’ Train.”
