http://www.vancourier.com/entertainment/Mozart+Chopin+gender+reassignment/3305216/story.htmlShe's smart, funny and wildly talented and she used to be a man.
That's not what classical music pianist Sara Davis Buechner usually wants audiences to focus on when they see her perform. She'd rather her recitals be about her critically acclaimed renderings of classical and contemporary pieces. But on July 30, she'll sketch her life story with words, Bach, Mozart and Chopin in an event called Crossing the Concourse as part of the 2010 Queer Arts Festival, July 27 to Aug. 14.
Buechner will start with Bach and discuss her relationship with religion and spirituality then move on to Mozart, her most beloved composer as a child.
