Pianist Carlo Grante Set for 'Masters of High Romanticism' Series 10/31 at Lincoln Center

The first in a three-concert series, "Masters of High Romanticism," with each program devoted to a single Romantic-era composer. In this concert, Carlo Grante focuses on "the narrative, dancing, dreaming sound-world of Chopin, who virtually invented the Ballade as a musical genre and emancipated the Scherzo from its origins in dance." Later concerts will feature the complete piano sonatas of Schumann (Monday, December 15, 2014) and the complete solo piano variations of Brahms (Tuesday, February 10, 2015).

Complete program (subject to change):

Frédéric Chopin: The Four Ballades; The Four Scherzos
