San Francisco Performances officially returns to its home base-the beautiful Beaux-Arts style Herbst Theatre-after a two-year absence, with a two-pianos/four-hands program in a spectacular pairing of commanding performers. Thomas Ades is equally celebrated as a composer and pianist, "one of the most imposing figures in contemporary music" (The New Yorker). Gloria Cheng electrifies audiences with emotional intensity, playing "as if her life depended on it" (The New Yorker).
The full program will include:
GERALD BARRY: Five Chorales from The Intelligence Park
NANCARROW, arr. ADES: Studies No. 6 & 7
ADES: Concert Paraphrase on Powder Her Face for Two Pianos
MESSIAEN: Visions de l'Amen
