The American Liszt Society Chicago/Midwest Chapter will be celebrating Franz Liszt's 204th birthday with a grand evening of his music performed by some of the Midwest's finest pianists! The event is set for Saturday, October 24, 2015 at 7:30 pm, Nichols Concert Hall, 1490 Chicago Ave., Evanston, IL.
