Renowned pianist Haskell Small to perform Beethoven's Diabelli variations at Epiphany Center in Chicago on November 16.
Pianist Haskell Small (www.haskellsmall.com) will tour nine key cities in the US with his program Celebration of Healing, performing Beethoven's Diabelli Variations.
His next official out-of-town stop will be at the Epiphany Center for the Arts in Chicago during their Golden Hour series, a series in the Cafe/Bar that provides additional free live music with food and drink specials. Haskell will perform the Beethoven Diabelli Variations, then - from the sublime to the ridiculous - Haskell will round out the evening with jazz-influenced free improvisations.
In 2021, Composer and Pianist Haskell Small suffered a debilitating stroke that rendered his left hand and foot paralyzed. At the time, Small feared his accomplished professional career would come to an end. Two years later, he is not only playing piano again (with both hands!) but set to embark on a nationwide Celebration of Healing tour launching in his hometown of Washington, DC in September. He will be the subject of a documentary film entitled Small Steps directed by Christopher McGuinness to be released later this fall. The trailer for this documentary-in-progress can be viewed here (https://youtu.be/lUVu4sxQpqQ?si=AI8GCXWi2OiSj3Bx).
