Emanuel Ax is "an extremely satisfying pianist; he is at home in a wide variety of music and his pianism is always thoughtful, lyrical, lustrous” (The Washington Post). The multifaceted music-maker shows off his command of a wide array of repertoire with this inventive program that honors Brahms’s legacy, pairing keyboard classics by Brahms with the New York premieres of stunning new works by acclaimed contemporary composers Brett Dean and Missy Mazzoli.
