Works for Five Pianos by Morton Feldman and Earle Brown

Five pianos become a vast instrument in this extraordinary evening celebrating the centennial years of Morton Feldman, Earle Brown, and György Kurtág. From Brown's revolutionary open-form masterpiece 25 Pages to Feldman's monumental Five Pianos, with music by Webern, Schubert, and Kurtág illuminating the lineage that shaped them, the program reveals the piano as an orchestra of resonance, color, and infinite possibility.
