STEINBACH & HELVEY PIANO DUO
Sunday, September 25, 2011
3:00 p.m.
One of today’s most innovative piano duos,
Richard Steinbach and Howard Helvey have
dazzled audiences across the U.S. and abroad
since 1997. Equally impressive at one piano
or two, these engaging artists bring
veracity and new life to a wide stylistic
palette – from early 4-hand music by Bach
and Mozart, to new works by Howard Helvey.
The duo opens our 30th anniversary season
with works by Mozart, Schubert, Brahms,
Britten, Poulenc, Langlais, Zimmerli and
Helvey. |
