Note: Pianist Orion Weiss, originally scheduled on this program, had to withdraw and will not be appearing. We are pleased that Jeremy Denk and the Takács Quartet stepped in on short notice. The charismatic Orion Weiss takes center stage for an evening of high-octane duo sonatas with Artistic Directors James Garlick and Richard ONeill. Rachmaninov's G minor sonata is a tour de force you wont want to miss.
