Full Moon and Empty Arms / Piano Concerto #2 in c-minor, 3rd movement
(Buddy Kaye, Ted Mossman and Sergei Rachmaninoff)
Soloist: Karl Logue
Karl Logue has served as the CCMC’s principal accompanist since its founding in 1989, not having missed a single performance in the entire quarter-century.  In addition to providing outstanding accompaniment, he has contributed numerous arrangements and compositions.  On this occasion, it seemed fitting to feature him in one of his favorite works, with our own special CCMC accent, the inclusion of a popular song based on the melody of the final movement, “Full Moon and Empty Arms”
