Anthony de Mare: Piano at Kaufman Music Center
New York, Merkin Concert Hall — Main Hall
About the Event
The trailblazing pianist takes audiences on a journey through iconoclastic American composers from Conlon Nancarrow to John Adams and Meredith Monk, traversing multiple genres. One of the world’s foremost champions of contemporary music, “De Mare’s passion and vision almost radiate from the stage … he causes all involved – composers, performer and audience members – to think about how music is made and how we listen to it” (The Chicago Sun Times).
