Event Registration

Part concert, part talk, "Chopin in Black and White and Technicolor" is the final Sunday Salon Series event for this season. Award-winning LMC pianist Diana Gao introduces Chopin's rarely heard Ballade No. 2 in F Major, with its stark black-and-white contrasts. Musicologist Dr. Larry Starr then explores the Ballade as well as Chopin's popular Fantaisie in F minor, a free-flowing musical kaleidoscope, with Gao's musical illustrations on the piano. The Salon concludes with another presentation of the Ballade -- this time with new ears -- and a full performance of the Fantaisie, followed by Q&A with both presenters. Whether you're a lifelong Chopin fan or just being introduced, you'll be sure to walk away with new ways to hear these timeless pieces. Tickets are $30 for General Admission and $10 for LMC members.
