Washington Performing Arts Piano Masters Series
Leif Ove Andsnes, piano
Hailed by the New York Times as "a pianist of magisterial elegance, power, and insight," five-time Gramophone Award-winner and eight-time Grammy nominee Leif Ove Andsnes is no stranger to our audiences. We're delighted to welcome the Norwegian pianist back to D.C. in a performance that can best be described as a tapas platter for the ear. With his commanding technique and searching interpretations, Andsnes will dive into repertoire classics by Sibelius, Debussy, and Chopin, as well as Beethoven's beloved Sonata No. 18, "The Hunt."
Performance Timing: TBA
