This evening of passion and imagination also includes Schumann’s Fantasy in C major, Skryabin’s Sonata-Fantasy, and Ravel’s dazzling Gaspard de la Nuit—works that illuminate the piano’s most dreamlike landscapes.

In the final Winter Music recital, Aspen favorite Augustin Hadelich returns for a rare winter appearance, joined by acclaimed pianist Francesco Piemontesi in his AMFS debut. Praised by The New York Times for his “gorgeous tone, poignant intensity, and brilliant technique,” Hadelich brings his signature warmth and expressive depth to a program of Debussy, Rameau, Poulenc, and more, in a richly expressive evening of music in immaculate acoustics of Harris Concert Hall.
