Le vie en France – A Recital of Piano Music for Four Hands

Ms. Rotshteyn, along with guest artist Elke Velazquez, piano, will perform “La vie en France” – a program of works by French composers and compositions inspired by French composers written for two pianos. Included on the program are Darius Milhaud’s delightful and energetic Scaramouche, the Dolly Suite, Opus 56, by Gabriel Fauré, and Greg Anderson’s Carmen Fantasy, which utilizes several themes from Bizet’s opera Carmen as its source material.

Admission to the recital is $18, $15 for seniors (65+) and free of charge to HBMS students and students 18 years of age and younger. Tickets to a series of three or ten recitals are available at a reduced rate.
