From the silver screen to the concert stage, some of cinema’s most unforgettable moments are shaped by the timeless beauty of piano music. Somewhere in Time, A Song to Remember, All About Eve, The Pianist, and Humoresque all showcase the piano’s emotional power. Konstantin brings these stories to life, weaving together music, narrative and cinematic magic.
This Narrative Musicales presentation is part of the Grand Piano Series.
