Free Community Concert ofClassical Pieces Reimagined at Saratoga Senior Center July 28

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Flutist Melanie Chirignan and pianist Melinda Faylor will perform a 45-minute free community concert, to be followed by a brief question and answer session, at 2 p.m. on July 28, at the Saratoga Senior Center, located at 290 West Ave., Suite 1. 

The classically trained duo take elements of classical pieces and reimagine them into improvised compositions. They commissioned artist Mercedes Soriano to take a time lapse video of them while painting to one of their improvisations, and the duo will project this video while they perform live.

A second concert follows the same format, with the addition of cellist Laura Melnicoff, and is scheduled to take place 2 p.m. Sept. 29. The performances are made possible by a Saratoga Community Arts grant.
