Pianist

Let one pianist loose on the 88 keys and—voilá! Magic. Multiply that by four and unite them on stage, and the effect is spectacular. The Grand Piano Spectacular returns again this summer—and it is a real thrill to see and hear! Creative Partner Jon Kimura Parker reprised this long tradition of Sommerfest, the Orchestra’s beloved summer festival that dates back to 1980. This summer, we welcome pianists representing the next generation of great recitalists who will perform alongside Parker.
