An Evening with Marc-André Hamelin
Wednesday, February 5, 2020 at 7:00pm CST
Galvin Recital Hall
Join us for an evening of conversation with WBEZ Senior Editor Rob Wildeboer and Grammy-nominated pianist Marc-André Hamelin, winner of seven Juno Awards, a lifetime achievement award from the German Record Critics’ Association, and Northwestern University’s Jean Gimbel Lane Prize in Piano Performance. Renowned for his musicianship and technique, and hailed by the New York Times as “a performer of near-superhuman technical prowess,” Hamelin also possesses a masterful ability to speak eloquently and accessibly about music. Hear music for piano from a fresh perspective as Hamelin and Wildeboer—a contributor to Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and This American Life—discuss its preparation, performance, and composition. The evening will include brief performance excerpts, and conclude with selected questions from the audience.
