Carnegie Hall Presents

Jan Lisiecki, Piano

Wednesday, March 13, 2024 8 PM Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage
Jan Lisiecki by Christoph Köstlin
Jan Lisiecki performs a program of preludes in his Carnegie Hall recital debut, treating audiences to dozens of succinct, characterful works by Chopin, J. S. Bach, Rachmaninoff, Szymanowski, Messiaen, and Górecki. This musical tradition is masterfully exemplified by Chopin’s Twenty-Four Preludes, which comprises the second half of the recital. These 24 individual pieces—one for each major and minor key, many of them no longer than a minute or two long—offer unique insight into the artistry of both composer and performer.
