Union's acclaimed classical concert series begins its 35th year Wednesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. with a return performance by renowned pianist Leon Fleisher in Memorial Chapel.
He'll play works by Bach, Stravinsky, Debussy, Albéniz and Chopin.
Here's what the Boston Phoenix says about the master: “Fleisher's miraculous tone, ever youthful, can be almost unearthly, glistening and dewy, or glitteringly worldly, strings of diamonds.”
Fleisher made his debut with the New York Philharmonic at 16 and has appeared regularly on the world's great concert stages ever since. This year's campus recital comes two weeks before he plays Carnegie Hall.
Concert tickets are free for the Union community, $25 for the general public and $12 for area students. They may be picked up at Facilities. For more information, call 388-6080 or 372-3651.
Fleischer's performance is the first of 15 concerts scheduled. Visit www.union.edu/concertseries.
