"One of a half-dozen pianists worth dropping everything to hear" (The Daily Telegraph, London), Canadian pianist Louis Lortie has been praised for the fresh perspective and individuality he brings to a broad spectrum of the keyboard canon. Celebrated for combining polished technique and deep musicality, Lortie has performed to huge acclaim throughout Europe, where critics have compared his concerts to the greatest performances of Wilhelm Kempff. In North America, engagements with orchestras including the Montreal Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, and Cleveland Orchestra prove that there is no music too intense or demanding for this masterful artist.
Program: Schumann/Vier Nachtstücke, Op.23, "Night Pieces;" Ravel/Gaspard de la nuit; Carter/Night Fantasies; Chopin/Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35
