Spring Open House and Piano Recital

We are delighted to announce that pianists Łukasz and Małgorzata Wilga will be performing a piano recital at the Percy Grainger Home and Studio for the Fourth Annual Spring Open House on Sunday, April 14 at 2 p.m. This exclusive event will showcase the exceptional talent of the Wilga duo in the intimate setting of Percy Grainger’s historic home. A tour of the Percy Grainger Home & Studio follows the performance.

The program for the recital will feature a selection of Grainger’s masterpieces, showcasing the duo’s exceptional skill and artistry. Łukasz will perform “Klavierstuck in D”, “English Waltz”, “My Robin is to the Greenwood Gone”, and the enchanting paraphrase on Tchaikovsky’s “Flower Waltz”. Małgorzata will entertain the audience with her renditions of “Klavierstuck in E”, “Now, O Now, I Needs Must Part”, and Grainger’s beautiful adaptation of Strauss’s “Der Rosenkavalier”. The duo will also join forces for a performance of Edvard Grieg’s “Four Norwegian Dances”.

Each spring, the Percy Grainger Society invites the local community to visit the Percy Grainger Home and Studio at 7 Cromwell Place. From the music room to the bedrooms and beyond, the house quietly illustrates how each Grainger family member made this space an echo of their individual interests and unique personalities. The house, built in the late 1800s, is a beloved White Plains landmark and a graceful reminder of White Plains neighborhoods from days gone by.

While the event is free and open to the public, registration is required.  Register through our website.
