Performer
Emanuel Ax, Piano

Emanuel Ax is an audience favorite and one of the most accomplished pianists of his generation. Hear this great master—who’s playing is “always marvelously articulate” (The Guardian)—perform late works by Chopin, a composer with whom Ax has been closely associated throughout his illustrious career. His recital features stirring mazurkas, the virtuosic Polonaise-fantaisie, the passionate Piano Sonata No. 3, and other works that reveal the genius of a great composer in full bloom.
