Frederick Moyer Classical-Jazz Piano Concert in Ogunquit | Theater | Events

On the southern tip of Maine’s rocky coast, in Ogunquit, Frederick Moyer’s “Classical - Jazz” concert at 3 Hartwig Ln, Ogunquit, ME 03907, USA, stitches two traditions into a single, lively evening. The program opens with piano repertoire rooted in European lyricism—Schubert and Grieg—then pivots into the swing and subtlety of Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, and Bill Evans transcriptions brought to life by the Fred Moyer Jazz Trio. The result feels less like two halves and more like a conversation across styles.

For listeners who come for the technical mastery, Moyer’s patented MoyerCam is part of the draw: a live keyboard close-up that projects his hands and makes the mechanics of virtuosity readable from every seat. You’ll hear Schubert’s Impromptu in E-flat and the dramatic lines from Grieg’s Piano Concerto before the trio’s interpretations feel as structured and deliberate as chamber music, but with the elastic timing and drive of jazz greats. The performance is crafted to thrill both classical purists and jazz fans who appreciate exacting transcriptions and improvisational spark.

Beyond the program itself, this concert is a slice of Ogunquit’s cultural life. The town’s shoreline—Marginal Way and Ogunquit Beach—offers a late-afternoon walk before a show and a salty counterpoint to the intimate indoor acoustics. The venue’s setting makes it easy to pair a scenic coastal stroll with a refined evening of music: arrive early, take in the sea air, then settle in for close-up keyboard art.

Practical details are straightforward: advance tickets are $20; at-the-door admission is $25 and requires cash or check. Expect a performance roughly 1.5–2 hours long with intermission, attentive acoustics, and an audience that values quiet appreciation. The concert’s mix of repertoire and the MoyerCam experience make it an educational night for students, a revealing show for pianists, and an enjoyable, accessible evening for casual concertgoers.

What makes this stand out in the local scene is the framing—treating jazz trio transcriptions with the discipline of classical chamber works—and the visual element that demystifies piano technique. For travelers who want to pair outdoor time on the Maine coast with a memorable indoor cultural event, Frederick Moyer’s program is a rare chance to hear two musical worlds meet with precision and warmth. Bring cash for door sales, a light jacket for the coastal breeze, and a readiness to applaud a performance that bridges tradition and swing.
