Summer Festival: Piano/Piano

Presented by Music@Menlo

After Mozart and Beethoven established the piano in classical music, Russian and French composers took the instrument to the next level. Arensky and Rachmaninov bared the powerful soul of Russia, while French counterparts reveled in ethereal pleasures. In this program, Debussy’s iconic Jeux (Games) is performed by eminent French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet and Van Cliburn Competition prizewinner Anna Geniushene.

This event will be livestreamed and available to watch for one week. Livestream tickets can be purchased online or by calling 650-331-0202.
