Critically acclaimed pianist Angel Stanislav Wang delivers a program that plumbs the depths of spirituality and introspection in the music of the Romantic era. Through works by Franz Liszt, moments of mysticism and transcendence unfold through imaginative, narrative-driven writing, while the music of Sergei Rachmaninoff brings a more introspective voice to the program. Together, these works highlight a balance of rhapsodic freedom and emotional heft, carried by Wang’s command of color and nuance.
This presentation is part of the Grand Piano Series. Grand Piano Series is an independent nonprofit organization.
