Lydia Artymiw and Cynthia Raim celebrate Ravel in Germantown with PCMS

We are delighted to collaborate once again with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society to present a special four-hand piano recital featuring remarkable pianists, Lydia Artymiw and Cynthia Raim. Together, they will celebrate the 150th birthday of Maurice Ravel with a program of his captivating works.
