Mitsuko Uchida is one of the most distinctive pianists today, 'an elegant, deeply musical interpreter who strikes an inspired balance of head and heart in everything she plays' (Chicago Tribune). London's Independent gushes that Uchida is "peerless [and] magical.' An amazing performer, in this recital of Bach, Schoenberg, and Schuman her uncanny musical poise is on display. Having sold out every one of her PCMS concerts/recitals—one thing is most certainly for sure: Uchida's passion remains timeless and endlessly fascinating. Don't miss this special opportunity to see an artist that '…whatever she plays, you always sense that Uchida has thought through the reasons for everything she does, but always in the best interests of communicating what she feels is the emotional essence of the music. It's a rare, and very precious gift.' The Guardian
