TICKETS + INFORMATION

Michael Stephen Brown is not only a fine, bracing composer (even if he didn’t write “Walk Away Renée”) — he's an excellent pianist as well. Tonight he presents a wide-ranging, well-put-together program, including some Haydn (the world’s most underrated and underperformed famous composer); some tributes to Haydn by Ravel, Debussy, and Brown himself; Ravel’s Mirroirs (as I said, Brown’s an excellent pianist); some Mendelssohn and some Von Schauroth, a forgotten pianist-composer whom Mendelssohn considered marrying; and a bigger piece by Brown himself (as far as I’m concerned, we don’t hear Brown’s compositions enough).
