On Sunday, April 22 at 4pm the DCA’s Duo Piano group will present ‘Pianorama!’, a concert of two-piano music that highlights the skills of this group of accomplished pianists.
A dazzling variety of compositions will be performed including the sublime Gounod/ Bach "Ave Maria", Albeniz's fiery "Triana", Schumann's emotional "Etudes in the Form of a Canon", Caesar Franck's celestial "Prelude, Fugue, and Variations", and a blockbuster eight-handed "Ragtime Rhapsody" based on Scott Joplin's music.
