Hailed as "wonderfully poetic," (Westfalen Post), “exuberant yet sensitive,” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) and “very compelling in his power and presence” (International Composer), Nathan Carterette has distinguished himself in the concert world by performing a huge range of works from Elizabethan keyboard music to music written today. His innovative, approachable ‘Poets of the Piano’ has inspired audiences to approach unfamiliar music with open ears, and familiar music with new appreciation.
Appearing as soloist, Nathan has been presented in such venues as Weill Recital Hall and the Yamaha Piano Salon of New York City, the Gasteig in Munich, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe of Hamburg, Cleveland’s Trinity Cathedral, and Pittsburgh’s Rodef Shalom; in several universities such as the Berklee School of Music, Cleveland Institute of Music, Baldwin Wallace Conservatory, Busan National University of South Korea, and Carnegie-Mellon. Educated at Yale University, where he studied with Boris Berman, and University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he studied with Robert Weirich, Nathan began his piano studies at the age of eleven with Cleveland’s legendary Birute and Anthony Smetona. A chance encounter in 2004 with Welsh composer-pianist Dafydd Llywelyn led to an invitation for intensive private study in Munich, where Nathan studied and performed for three years. Nathan, together with organist Edward Alan Moore, form The Arsenal Duo. They have performed many concerts throughout the country, from their 2013 debut in the historic Stambaugh Auditorium in Youngstown, OH; they were also featured performers there for the 2017 American Guild of Organists Great Lakes Regional Convention. |

About the Aptos Keyboard Series at St. John's
Our Mission: to promote gifted young pianists and offer them the opportunity to perform in a concert setting.
Our History: Artistic Director Josef Sekon, longtime music teacher at Cabrillo College, hosted concerts in his home and other local venues for the past several years. Several St. John's parishioners actively supported this artistic venture in various ways, from hosting musicians to providing financial support, and, of course, serving as a loyal audience. So when the concert series began to outgrow a "house concert" size, St. John's was a logical place to look for a new home. To begin, a parish member has loaned the church a Steinway piano to do justice to the level of the musicianship being shared.
St. John's is delighted to partner with Josef Sekon in presenting the Aptos Keyboard Series, henceforth to be known as "The Aptos Keyboard Series at St. John's." It is our hope that we can expand the opportunity from a house concert with an audience of 35 to our larger venue as St. John's, with our wonderful acoustics. And we hope to maintain the intimate atmosphere of a “Salon Setting” for upcoming concerts.
If you love listening to world class piano music in a relaxed setting please come to this series of Sunday afternoon concerts. We are delighted to accept financial support to help promote these young guest artists in our own community.
