I am truly thrilled to perform one of the most beautiful and evergreen Piano Quintets of the chamber music repertoire, by French composer Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947), in my première performance with the marvelous Kontras Quartet of Chicago.

“Rooted in America” is the title of this exceptional concert, on which I will play George Gershwin’s Second Rhapsody along with solo works of Artie Mathews and Margaret Bonds. The orchestra is conducted by Andrew Grams, and the program is dedicated with love and gratitude to my dear friend, the late Michael Morgan (1957 – 2021).
