Eagerly anticipated by classical music fans, the recitals and concert performances by Marc-Andre Hamelin are always a delight for the audience. Well-known for his impeccable technique and sensible interpretation of works by the composers of a romantic period, Hamelin’s programs combine the scores by well-established composers and those that are familiar mainly to consummate connoisseurs of piano music. This mix of familiar and new names in the program makes each and every appearance of Hamelin an event full of excitement and discovery. Reward yourself with an evening of great music in an elegant setting of Venetian Theater at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts in Katonah, NY.

Marc-Andre Hamelin returns to Carnegie Hall this Fall with an exciting and evocative program of Liszt, Feinberg, Debussy and Godowsky. The recital on November 1, 2017 at Carnegie Hall Stern Auditorium will feature the compositions by the well-known and lesser so yet equally formidable composers. That music has to be brought to the wide public and Hamelin is in the best position for the task.
By now the music fans are already expecting an exploration of the treasure trove of half-forgotten compositions at Hamelin’s performances. As a WBUR.org review notes “he unearths, polishesand returns forgotten talent to prominence”. And the program on November 1 will not disappoint. Knowing the musician’s sensible touch and technical virtuosity, the music will surprise and delight at the same time.
