Free Piano Concert Thursday, January 12
Please make every effort to attend pianist Joel Hastings’ recital this Thursday, January 12 at 7:30pm in Carswell Concert Hall at Meredith College. There will be a pre-concert lecture at 7pm. The program features Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” sonata which is perhaps Beethoven’s most astonishing work for the piano and is rarely performed due to its difficulty. A copy of Joel Hastings’ bio and the recital program is available here.
