A Classical and Holiday Piano Concert

The Krantz Family Players Present

A Classical and Holiday Piano Concert

Sunday, December 12, 3-5pm

$10 suggested donation at the door


Join us for a piano spectacular! The Krantz family of pianists (Sabine, Alex, Emma, Ty, Andreia and Soren) will share music by Beethoven, Chopin, Scriabin, Blumenfeld, Grieg and Scarlatti as well as holiday favorites for 2 and 4 hand piano.

The Krantz family is based in the Syracuse area. Mother Sabine started piano lessons at age 8 and didn’t stop until she graduated from college in Oslo with a bachelor’s degree in piano pedagogy and performance. She teaches piano and voice lessons and accompanies local events. Father Alex is mostly self taught on piano.

Their four children have all followed in their parents musical footsteps; Emma (21) who played her first “twinkle little tao” on the piano with only her right pointer finger at age 4. Ty (19) started playing as soon as he could sit at the piano. He recently transferred to LeMoyne college to complete his bachelor’s degree in math. Andreia (17) is a full-time music student at OCC in her Senior year of high school. She is doing voice as her major instrument, also studying piano. Finally Soren (15) started lessons with mom, but switched to John Spradlings studio in the fall of 2020.:


Treat yourself and your family to an afternoon of musical joy. Masks are required at this concert.
