Description

The consummate pianist Emanuel Ax brings a lifetime of authority to every musical setting—whether as a soloist with the world's leading orchestras, chamber musician, Grammy-winning recording artist, or recitalist. With "bountiful imagination, delicacy when called for and thundering power" (The New York Times), he returns to Shriver Hall, performing essential repertoire including Schubert's powerful Sonata in A minor and a dazzling array of Chopin.

Please join a Pre-Concert Talk at 4:30 p.m. This event is part of the Shriver Hall Concert Series.
