Musical America recently marveled at Stephen Hough's "tightly fashioned programs...melodic jewels that twinkle and shine with a multi-faceted brilliance."

Named by The Economist as one of Twenty Living Polymaths, Stephen Hough combines a distinguished career and a longstanding international following as a pianist with those of composer and writer. The first classical pianist to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship, he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year Honors 2014 and was awarded a Knighthood for Services to Music in the Queen's Birthday honors 2022.
The program will include:
MOMPOU: Cants Magics
SCRIABIN: Piano Sonata No. 5, Op. 53
DEBUSSY: Estampes
HOUGH: Partita
