He will begin with a piece by Schumann and then move on to the Sonata in C Minor, Hob. XVI: 20, L. 33 by Hayden followed by Etudes Tableaux Op. 39 by Rachmaninoff. He will then play “Musings..and a Waltz” by BYU faculty member Laurence Lowe and excepts from the Parisian Suite and Surrealist Suite by Vernon Duke. He will conclude the evening with “Evening Lit by the Burning Coals” and “Gardens in the Rain” by Debussy and Chorale et Variations by Dutilleux.
