December concerts at 92Y's Tisch Center for the Arts open with a recital by legendary pianist Peter Serkin, Saturday, December 1 (8 pm). The centerpiece of his program is J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, which Serkin last performed in New York in 1993. Writes The New York Times, "In his hands, even the most formidable works are fluid and expressive." Serkin will open the evening with a pair of late works by Mozart: the enigmatic and richly chromatic Adagio in B Minor, thought to be a musical memorial of his father, Leopold; and the courtly Sonata in B-flat Major, redolent of the soon-to-be-composed The Magic Flute. Complete program and ticketing details appear below.
