Music Professor Receives Grant for Concert Series
Dr. Anna Keiserman, a pianist and Assistant Professor of Music at Raritan Valley Community College in Branchburg, has received a New Jersey State Council on the Arts Local Arts Program Grant from the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage Commission for the MOZAIKA concert series.
The MOZAIKA concert series was created to promote multicultural dialogue through the performance of music from the classical canon through the 21st Century. By presenting programs that span centuries and continents, the performers celebrate diverse genres, influences, and everyone’s shared humanity, bearing witness to music’s ability to bring people together.
Concert ticket sales benefit the Applied Music Fund, which was initiated by Dr. Keiserman. The fund helps pay for musical instruments and scholarships for RVCC music students, as well trips to area concerts to support their education.
Russian-born artist Anna Keiserman is known for her creative programming and expressive freedom in her piano playing. Performance credits include concerts at Le Poisson Rouge, the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Jay and Linda Grunin Center for the Arts (Toms River), the Strand Theater (Hudson Falls, NY), and Ateneu Barcelonès (Barcelona, Spain).
She completed her Doctorate in Piano Performance at Rutgers University, where she was honored with the Elizabeth Wyckoff Durham Award for outstanding academic achievement and excellence in piano performance. She also served as a faculty member at the NYU Steinhardt School of the Arts, Rutgers University Extension Division, and William Paterson University.
