British pianist Stephen Hough returns to Spivey Hall on March 29 at 3 p.m.
Named by “The Economist” as one of 20 Living Polymaths (a person of wide-ranging knowledge or learning), Hough is a rare renaissance man.
During a long and distinguished career as one of the world’s leading concert pianists, he has also excelled as a writer and composer. Hough combines an exceptional facility and tonal palette with a uniquely inquisitive musical personality, and his musical achievements have resulted in many awards and accolades for his concerts and a discography of more than 50 recordings.
“A virtuoso who begins where others leave off,” according to “The Guardian.”
In his much-anticipated return to Spivey, Hough will perform works by Claude Debussy – Estampes, La plus que lente, Children’s Corner; L’isle joyeuse – interwoven with Frédéric Chopin’s magnificent
Ballades Nos. 1 – 4.
Audio Web Notes providing detailed information about the music and the composers are available now at www.spivey.org.
