Jeffrey Siegel Keyboard Conversations® Chopin for Lovers! September 15, 2010

Adult $38 | University Park Student $15 | 18 and Younger $28

The year 2010 marks the 200th anniversary of piano genius Frédéric Chopin’s birth. Juilliard-trained piano virtuoso Jeffrey Siegel, who opened last season with an enthusiastically received all-Beethoven concert-plus-commentary, returns with a Keyboard Conversations® program devoted exclusively to Chopin. A different woman in the composer’s love life inspired each work on the program, which features the vivacious Waltz in E Flat, the dreamy Larghetto Op. 21, several lyric and dynamic Preludes from Op. 28, and the stormy Scherzo No. 3. The witty and informative Siegel, who has appeared as a soloist with the world’s great orchestras, speaks with the audience about the music before performing each work. Bring a significant other, and enrich your lives with some of the most stirring music ever written.

Complimentary round-trip shuttle service is provided between the Eisenhower Parking Deck and Schwab Auditorium.
