Sunday, October 18 at 4:00 pm – From Vienna to Buenos Aires
Travel across continents and centuries in From Vienna to Buenos Aires, a dazzling piano four-hands concert featuring José Meléndez and Ting Ting Wong. This vibrant program journeys from the elegance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and the charm of Gabriel Fauré to the colorful modernism of Francis Poulenc and the passionate rhythms of Latin America with Astor Piazzolla and Zequinha de Abreu. Along the way, audiences will experience beloved works by Maurice Ravel, Ludwig van Beethoven, Christoph Willibald Gluck, and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, all brought to life through the dynamic interplay of two pianists at one instrument. From refined Viennese brilliance to fiery tango and Brazilian flair, this concert promises an unforgettable musical voyage filled with elegance, energy, and virtuosity.
