Leif Ove Andsnes, piano

Shriver Hall Concert Series presents Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, “one of the most gifted musicians of his generation” (Wall Street Journal), making a heralded return to Baltimore after 25 years. The New York Times attests that “when he sits in front of the
keyboard…extraordinary things happen.” Andsnes brings this brilliance to Chopin’s cycle of Preludes, as well as Grieg’s contemplative—and only—piano sonata; written at age 22, it dazzles with his talent and passion.
