President's Piano Series - Mihaela Ursuleasa January 30, 2008

Single-ticket price: $34; $31 for subscribers; $20 for students

The unique combination of vivacious playing, technical finesse, and lyrical talent makes Mihaela Ursuleasa one of today's most exciting pianists. Of her recent recital in San Francisco, the Chronicle reviewer said, "It's the kind of Beethoven I have not heard since the heyday of Claudio Arrau." For the UW World Series, Ursuleasa has chosen to play a program of Mozart, Schumann, and Rachmaninoff.

Program:
Mozart: 10 Variations on "Unser dummer Pöbel meint," K. 455
Schumann: Fantasiestucke, Op. 12
Rachmaninoff: Etudes tableaux, Op. 39
