Piano Recital: Chopin, Scriabin, Schubert

Join us for an afternoon of music that journeys through serenity, turmoil, grief, and triumph. The program will open with Chopin's Barcarolle, Op. 60—a lyrical work that portrays an evening in a gondola drifting through the moonlit canals of Venice. Scriabin's Sonata No. 2 then offers a contrasting vision of water—one swept up in fantasy and turbulence that paints the shifting seascapes and storms. The recital concludes with Schubert's Drei Klavierstücke, one of the final piano works of his life. Written during a time of illness and poverty, this set of pieces reveal the composer grappling with despair through haunting melodies and moments of lost hope; yet, at the end, his radiating resilience and brilliance cuts through—culminating in a powerful, triumphant finale. The recital will approximately be 1 hour long without intermission. More Info below.
