George Li Piano Recital

Multiple-award-winning pianist George Li, whom The Washington Post praised for combining “staggering technical prowess, a sense of command and depth of expression,” makes his Festival debut playing two thoroughly delightful, youthful works by Schumann—the alluring Arabesque and exuberant (and slightly subversive) Davidsbündlertänze—as well as Stravinsky’s highly virtuosic Three Movements from Pétrouchka, which the composer created for the legendary pianist Arthur Rubinstein.

ROBERT SCHUMANN  Arabeske in C Major, Op. 18

ROBERT SCHUMANN  Davidsbündlertänze (Dances of the League of David), Op. 6

IGOR STRAVINSKY  Three Movements from Pétrouchka
