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 12th, pianist Gail Olszewski plays Johannes Brahms on a piano by J.B. Streicher & Sohn, Vienna (1868), from The Frederick Collection, accompanied by Jessica Gould, soprano.
