Event Description

Conrad Tao is a magical pianist, with a scholar’s mind wrapped in an almost impossible technique. New York Magazine calls pianist Tao “the kind of musician who is shaping the future of classical music.” He has appeared worldwide as a pianist and composer and has been dubbed an artist of “probing intellect and open-hearted vision” by The New York Times. Tao is admired for his risk-taking and for the rigorous attention he gives his programs, which often juxtapose new and old works. Tao will bring us a solo program of his favourites, including music by Rachmaninoff, Schumann, Billy Strayhorn, and Harold Arlen.
