Bach and Brahms at the Met

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
On Thursday, pianist Frederic Chiu gives his only New York recital (this season) for the Met Museum's "Piano Forte: Bach and Brahms" series. We'll preview a little Bach — Chiu-style — with "Wachet Auf!" (a.k.a. "Sleepers Awake").

Looking ahead to our American Music Festival at the end of the month, we'll hear Samuel Barber's "Capricorn Concerto" featuring the San Diego Chamber Orchestra under Donald Barra. Also up to bat: George Gershwin's wonderful Piano Concerto in F with Howard Shelley; Yan Pascal Tortelier leads the Philharmonia Orchestra.

» Frederic Chiu at the Met Museum, Thursday, May 25th at 8p.m.
