August 8: Montgeroult Études (selection), Farrenc études (selection), Chopin études // Bonis selection, Bacewicz Sonata no 2 // encore Kapustin

An evening centered around the art of writing Etudes for the piano, and how this form can be transcended to the realm of ultimate poetry. This program also showcases the links between Poland and France, as two of their greatest musicians, Chopin and Bacewicz, shared this blood-mingling as part of their core musical identity.
