Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24

Piotr Anderszewski

"Mr. Anderszewski's improbably light playing had an air of confessional intimacy; listening felt like eavesdropping.” – The New York Times

The award-winning Anderszewski has appeared with many great orchestras and debuts with us in Mozart’s darkly beautiful concerto. Fauré and Debussy created musical Impressionism and Higdon shows how Impressionism lives today.

Watch an interview with Anderszewski on Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24.

Free Inside Music talk by Susan Key one hour prior to each concert.

Meet Piotr Anderszewski for an exclusive CD signing immediately following the Apr 10-11 concerts at the Symphony Store in the lobby. Purchase your CDs now at the Symphony eStore.
