Coming to the Hangar Theatre October 28, 2017 at 8:00 PM, as part of the Caberetc. series, an Evening of Classical French and Russian Piano with Roberto Hidalgo. Hidalgo has enthralled audiences with highly inventive programs that reflect his untrammeled curiosity towards the creative process behind each piece of music he performs. An enthusiastic advocate of new and seldom played music, his eclectic repertoire combines works by the great masters with those of lesser-known composers. Critics and audiences have hailed him as a pianist of "a profoundly analytical mind and tonal imagination" whose interpretations are imbued with "a deep emotional understanding of the music at hand." Students and colleagues unanimously praise his outstanding career of more than twenty years, nourishing young musicians and fostering a lasting appreciation of the arduous yet beautiful craft of making music at the highest level. "His muscular and graceful interpretations of classical music will thrill the music-lovers in Ithaca, and I'm especially thrilled that he is including in his French and Russian classical repertoire a piece by Eastman Composer Carlos Sánchez-Gutiérrez, who like Roberto, is from Mexico. This promises to be a gem of an evening, and continues in the Hangar's tradition of bringing world-class performers to the Finger Lakes Community." Michael Barakiva - Hangar Theatre Artistic Director. Tickets on sale online at hangartheatre.org or 607.273.ARTS.
