Celebrate the 200th anniversary year of a legendary figure in music history, a composer whose works radiate all the passion and mysticism of 19th-century Romanticism. Thibaudet, a refined and colorful pianist, brings to light the multifarious and often contradictory sides of Liszt’s musical personality, with a program that ranges from a work inspired by French Romantic poetry to music honoring Saint Francis of Assisi.
