Four-Hand Piano Concert Comes to the Town Hall Theater

On Sunday, December 22 at 4pm, Nathan Harris and Mairi Grewar will perform incredible, four handed piano arrangements at Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater. In this afternoon of soaring and playfully choreographed piano music, you can expect to hear five greats of Romanticism: Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, and Dvorak, with cameos by Ligeti and Debussy.  Each half of the duo, visiting from Vienna, Austria, has an amazing and distinct musical background.
