HKS Recital Series: Alexandre Tharaud Piano Recital

**Seats will be assigned by the presenter in the order of tickets purchased**

Piano: Alexandre Tharaud

In a career spanning 25 years, French pianist Alexandre Tharaud has become a unique figure in the classical music world and a key exponent of French pianism. As a recitalist, he is a regular guest at the world’s most prestigious venues. His extraordinary discography of over 25 solo albums, most of which received major awards from the music press, features repertoire ranging from Couperin, Bach and Scarlatti, through Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Chopin, Brahms and Rachmaninov, to the major 20^th-century French composers as well as film and pop music.

In this recital, Tharaud will be playing a beautiful all-French programme, opening with a sparkling suite by the monumental French Baroque composer Rameau, before plunging into a celebration of the heights of French Romanticism with the beloved works of Debussy, Satie and Ravel.
