Historical Piano Concerts from The Frederick Collection: Hwa’en Ch’uqi

05.26.24 @ 3:00 pm - 4:15 pm

Free

Historical Piano Concerts’ 38th Spring season presents performances every Sunday in May. The six concerts pay homage to the pianist-composers associated with the Collection’s historical original pianos. In May, two recitals devoted to Schubert’s late compositions focus special attention on this beloved composer. You’ll find detailed information on all events and the instruments at FrederickCollection.org.

On Sunday, May 26th, pianist Hwa’en Ch’uqi plays late works from Franz Schubert II on a piano by Ignaz Bösendorfer, Vienna (ca. 1830), from The Frederick Collection.
