Princeton University Concerts is set to present piano star Igor Levit in his only East Coast recital on February 4, 2016. The show will be held at 8 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall.
After mesmerizing ten sold-out audiences this past December at New York City’s Park Avenue Armory and setting critics ablaze for his interpretation of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations in collaboration with performance artist Marina AbramoviÄ, this revolutionary young pianist will present J.S. Bach’s Partita No. 4 in D Major BWV 828, Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Tempest” Sonata No. 17 in D Minor Op. 31 No. 2, Franz Schubert’s Moments musicaux Op. 94 D. 780, and Sergei Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 7 in B-flat Major Op. 83.
Levit is set to teach a master class, free and open to the public, to Princeton University students at 11 a.m. in Taplin Auditorium prior to his recital.
Princeton University Professor Scott Burnham will offer his thoughts on the program in a pre-concert talk at 7 p.m., free to all ticketholders.
