Profound fluidity, commanding virtuosity, extraordinary precision, and pervasive elegance are hallmarks of French Canadian pianist Louis Lortie. Experience this remarkable musician—who has been dubbed “one of a half-dozen pianists worth dropping everything to hear” by London's Daily Telegraph—in a thrilling and ambitious recital that features works by Liszt, Chopin, and others.
“Louis Lortie, a dazzling, fiery soloist, rarely seemed close to the limits of his ability.” —Guardian (London)
