Maria Joao Pires and Julien Brocal, piano

One of the finest musicians of her generation, Maria Joao Pires continues to transfix audiences with the spotless integrity, eloquence, and vitality of her art. Also a dedicated educator, she performs recitals with her most gifted piano students as part of her “Partitura Project,” designed to create an altruistic dynamic between artists of different generations. Pires shares her Vermont debut with student Julien Brocal, praising his “poetry, spontaneity, restraint, and a profound sense of structure and awareness of sound.” Pires and Brocal each play two Beethoven sonatas, and may treat us to a work for four hands.
