“A pianist of exceptional sensitivity, Ax balances power with poetic restraint.”
— The Guardian
Globally esteemed GRAMMY® Award-winning pianist Emanuel Ax returns for an evening of romantic expression in a program that moves from Schumann’s whimsical fantasy to Schubert’s expansive lyricism, culminating with Chopin’s lyrical nocturnes.
