“Brilliant technique and [a] questing, deep-thinking approach” –The New Yorker

Marc-André Hamelin is celebrated for his extraordinary feats of pianism, consummate musicianship, and shining a light on forgotten composers. He brings it all to our stage, beginning with a Haydn sonata – the focus of his recent recording project of the composer’s complete sonatas. In a wide-ranging program reflective of Hamelin’s wide-ranging musical vision, Haydn is followed by a Frank Zappa song and an obscure 12-tone work by German-Jewish-American early modern composer Stefan Wolpe. The recital culminates with two Rachmaninoff jewels including one of Hamelin’s signature works, the Piano Sonata No. 2 – a sweeping, virtuosic showpiece, and music that finds Hamelin in his element. A feast for piano music lovers.
