On the second night of his chamber music cycle, Sir András Schiff teams up with three alumni of his “Building Bridges” initiative, which offers solo recital opportunities to gifted pianists at the beginning of their careers. Together they perform works by Mozart, Schubert, Smetana, Debussy, and others for piano four and eight hands. The following days feature Schiff and a group of close musical friends in two different trio programs and vocal recitals.
