An incredible fête of guitar music in the spirit of great musician Django Reinhardt will be taking place on May 5, 2018 at The Town Hall in midtown Manhattan.

Evgeny Kissin is undoubtedly the most famous classical pianist of our time. No introduction is needed, just a mere mention of his name brings up the awe and veneration. After taking some time off from concert playing in 2017, he immersed himself in composing and writing which exposed a formidable talent and the depth of thoughts all the while not losing sight of his métier. The appearance at the intimate Florence Gould Hall on May 6 will give the public a chance to get close to both the music and the writings as well as to pose questions about inspirations and muses.

Book your tickets for May 6, 2018, at 5 pm here.

Kissin’s fame started early when in 1981 as a child prodigy at the age of 10 he played Mozart’s Concerto, his first public performance of serious music. That successful engagement led to his first solo recital at the Moscow Conservatory when he was still a student at Gnessin School of Music for musically gifted children. A star was born! The following year he made his first recording with Melodia label. In 1986 he started an international career first touring Japan, then in 1987 he appeared at the Berlin Music Festival. The year after with the Moscow Virtuosi orchestra and conductor Vladimir Spivakov he toured Europe and performed with the London Symphony orchestra in London. Later that same year he was introduced to maestro von Karajan who invited Kissin to perform in the New Year concert with the Berlin Philharmonic and to record with DG. Read More
