@Harriet Kaplan If I were in town, I'd definitely go! (I got to spend time with her and 2 of my piano friends in 2019. I'm the really short one.)

Re: What is a Fugue?

Re: Concert / online program recommendations
I'm not in NYC much these days, but I sent my mom and her friends some tix to hear Jeremy Siskind at Carnegie last night and they loved hearing him! Maybe he's still in town?
