Osher Arts and Lectures Event: Poets of the Piano by Nathan Carterette

Poets of the Piano is a lecture-recital celebrating the magic and poetry of piano music that transcends the instrument. The music in this program explores the evolving art of piano music, as composers tried to express more moods, scenes and characters on the instrument. Behind each great piece, there is a story that will enrich your experience and open your ears to new possibilities. A 30 minute lecture is followed by a one hour concert. Nathan Carterette is a classical pianist who trained at Yale University and in private study in Munich, Germany. He has performed around the world and is known for his performances of Bach, his work with composers of today, and his educational initiative 'Poets of the Piano.'
