• Mendelssohn – A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Step into Shakespeare’s enchanted forest with sparkling, fairy-tale fingerwork that captures the essence of a warm summer night.

• Ravel – Ma Mère l’Oye (Mother Goose Suite): Journey through delicate, impressionistic fairy tales filled with childlike wonder and deep emotional nuance.

• Tchaikovsky – The Nutcracker Suite: Transition into the festive warmth of winter with the rhythmic brilliance and joyful melodies of this beloved holiday classic.

From the ethereal whispers of midsummer to the cozy enchantment of Christmas, this performance highlights the incredible range, intimacy, and symphonic power of piano four hands.
