CARNEGIE HALL PRESENTS

Cancelled: Emanuel Ax, Piano

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Emanuel Ax by Lisa-Marie Mazzucco
Emanuel Ax’s “pianism is always thoughtful, lyrical, lustrous” (The Washington Post). Hear him soar to passionate heights in the expressive and stunningly melodic music of Chopin and Brahms. He also explores daring new ground in the New York premiere of Andrew Norman’s adaptation of Suspend. Originally written for piano and orchestra—and specifically for Ax—Norman’s adaptation for solo piano draws on motifs from Brahms’s music. Spend an evening with Ax and hear how “his greatness, his overwhelming authority as a musician, technician, and probing intellect emerges quickly as he plays” (Los Angeles Times).
