Louis Lortie plays Chopin

Sobre o Evento

Indulge in an evening of pure Chopin with the acclaimed French‐Canadian pianist as he plays the complete Études.

Initially written as study pieces for aspiring pianists — Chopin wrote the first set, Opus 10, as a teenager — these are the first works in this commonplace genre to earn a central position in the concert repertoire. Uniquely demanding, and profoundly lyrical, Chopin's Études combine technical complexity with a comprehensive structure and emotive melody, creating in their wake a new musical style.
