It’s with a heavy heart that we announce, Orit Wolf is no longer able to join us for this concert. Orit is a resident of Israel, and due to the extenuating circumstances currently underway there, she has had to cancel her travel plans. As such, we have changed the program and guest artist for this concert, though the date, time and location will remain the same. We are pleased to welcome Philippe Raskin, an equally phenomenal piano virtuoso from Belgium, who will take us on a musical journey from Italy to Russia, and Germany to New York with works by composers Domenico Scarlatti, Sergei Rachmaninov, Johannes Brahms, and George Gershwin. It is sure to be a lovely and captivating concert that you don’t want to miss. Our sincerest sympathies go out Orit and her family during this distressing time, and we look forward to hosting her again in the future.
