Evgeny Kissin in Recital

Legendary pianist Evgeny Kissin brings extraordinary insight and intensity to an all-Beethoven recital. From the elegance of early and middle-period piano sonatas to the expansive Diabelli Variations, this intimate program reveals Beethoven’s imagination, wit, and bold expressive range through one of today’s great masters.

Please note the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra does not perform on this program.
