He’s hailed as “one of the best pianists in the world.”

Franz Liszt’s second piano concerto is one of the most thrilling and vibrant concertos of all time – filled with emotion, virtuosity, and passion. The concert begins with a world premiere that was commissioned by the Arsht Center for The Cleveland Orchestra, to celebrate the organizations’ ten-year partnership. The concert then concludes with Mahler’s epic First Symphony, inspired by sounds of nature, heroic struggles, and triumphant music.
