Landmark on Main in Port Washington, New York presents Long Island Filmmaker Stewart Schulman’s Left Alone Rhapsody – The Musical memoir of Pianist John Bayless on May 19th at 7PM in its Long Island premiere.
At 25, Leonard Bernstein protégé John Bayless made his Carnegie Hall debut performing Rhapsody in Blue. His jaw-dropping technical prowess initiated a 30-year concert and recording career. At 54, a left-brain stroke immobilized his entire right side. The music stopped. John’s magical “first act” disappeared.
The award-winning documentary Left Alone Rhapsody chronicles John’s rise from four-year-old Texas prodigy to international stardom; his post-stroke struggle to transcend paralysis; and the indomitable spirit driving him to reinvent himself as a one-handed musician and storyteller. John Bayless’s concert, One Hand, One Heart, was performed at Landmark in 2019, and some of the footage from that concert appears in the film.
Long Islanders Paula Kaminsky Davis, Gail Jeffee Cohen and Laura Mogul were Producers of the film.
Tickets: $46.25 including fees:
