Beloved for his charm and humanity as well as his talent, he is treasured by audiences throughout the world who respond not only to his remarkable artistry, but also to the irrepressible joy of making music, which emanates from every part of his being. He’s performed for presidents and royalty, and now he takes the Overture Hall stage in a special intimate solo recital.

This performances program includes the following (subject to change):

• Brahms: Sonatensatz
