PIANO PASSIONS Part 1

Title: PIANO PASSIONS Part 1
Location: Merkin Concert Hall 129, West 67th Street, New York City
Description: Beethoven\‚s piano concerti are a testament to the composer\‘s enormous creativity and his undisputed place in the piano repertoire. Like his symphonies and sonatas, the piano concertos not only are the cornerstones of the classical style, but also forge the way to the Romantic period.

In collaboration with Kaufman Center and Ensemble du Monde, chamber orchestra, the pianists will perform all five piano concertos in the two concerts. Also performed will be the \„Triple Concerto\“ performed by young musicians from the Lucy Moses and Special Music Schools.

Concerto for Piano in C Major, op. 15 Igal Kesselman
