Why is this an unique concert? In two words: Martha Argerich. Pianist without equal, as a young eighty-something at the peak of her abilities. NRC called her previous performance with us 'Magical, stunningly beautiful, incredibly refined,'. Shostakovich's jazzy First Piano Concerto, one of her masterpieces, is the link between two masterpieces by his most important compatriots and contemporaries. You don’t want to miss this.
