Hello all,
The last live concert I attended was all 5 Prokofiev Piano Concertos performed by Daniil Trifonov, Sergei Babayan and Alexei Volodin at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the BBC Proms season. It was conducted by Valery Gergiev. A truly amazing evening!
Craig-
Gail Starr the Proms are back this year so am hoping to go!

When I saw that Tonebase instructor Garrick Ohlsson was performing at Stanford's Bing Concert Hall in February, I immediately jumped on those tickets! He performed a dual piano concert with Kirill Gerstein. The dual pianos were magical! And Bing is a beautiful venue, for any of you close by. Pieces played include:
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF (1873-1943)
Symphonic Dances, Op 45 (completed by 1720)FERRUCCIO BUSONI (1866-1924)
Fantasia Contrappuntistica, BV 256b (1910/21)In April, Tiffany Poon came to San Francisco, her first visit to the west coast of the US. She was such a pleasure! She even gave autographs and selfies in the lobby after the concert.

Randi Besides the performance, what I loved about Dominic's recital is before each and every piece he gave the background and history of the piece - and the history of the dedication of the piece. It was so educational. Dominic explained we have Clara Schumann to thank for having to perform by memory! And Dominic stated the most important pianists in history were Clara Schumann, Franz Lizst, Chopin, and Sophie Menter - someone I had never heard of but will now have to research!
It was really a great recital.

Stephen Mendoza fabulous!

Stephen Mendoza That's cool that Dominic talked about the pieces before playing them. I wonder why more performers don't do that. I am always tempted to do this when my school hosts recitals. It gives people something interesting to think about while you play. But I have not because no one else does.
Thanks for including the program. It looks fantastic!

It is just wonderful to read about all these live events and what they mean to people after the last couple of years.
