November 17, 7:00 p.m. Boston, MA
An Evening with Steinway - New Music Past and Present
The music of a young composer is his introduction to the world – and in this program we’ll look at some music that made the world sit up and listen.

We’ll hear the sincere Ballades opus 10 written by 23-year-old Brahms; the sensual Pour le Piano written by Debussy just before his rise to fame; and we’ll see explosive music that came out of the notebooks that Prokofiev kept as a student. We’ll also discover music which is new today, from young composers Todd Tarantino, Lior Navok, and Christos Koulendros. Following the concert is a meet-the-artist (and possibly the composers) reception.
