Friends of Music Concerts, Inc. will welcome French pianistLise de la Salle on Saturday,  November 1, 2014, when she performs works by Brahms, Debussy, and Ravelin the Kusel Auditorium at Sleepy Hollow High School, 210 North Broadway (Route 9) in Sleepy Hollow.  All performances will begin at 8pm.  Parking is free.

In just a few years, through concerts and recordings, de la Salle has established a reputation as one of today’s most exciting young artists.  The New York Times said, “Ms. de la Salle is eminently musical; she offers depth as well as virtuosity.”

Born in Cherbourg in 1988, de la Salle started playing the piano at the age of four and gave her first concert, broadcast live by Radio France, when she was nine. At the age of 13 she made her concerto debut in Avignon with Beethoven`s Piano Concerto No 2.  Her 2005 Bach/Liszt recording was selected as Recording of the Month by Grammaphone Magazine; her 2008 recording of Liszt’s, Prokoviev’s and Shostakovich’s final concertos was similarly honored.  Between 1997 and 2004 Lise de la Salle won numerous competitions including First Prize in the 2004 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York.
