Acclaimed pianist Bruce Levingston returns to the Bologna stage with fabulous guest artists from his recent concerts in New York and Carnegie Hall. These great performers include the virtuoso violinist Colin Jacobsen and his brother the brilliant cellist Eric Jacobsen, both proteges and performing partners of cellist Yo Yo Ma. In addition, the great violist Nicholas Cordes and electrifying violinist Johnny Gandelsman, who form the renowned Brooklyn Rider quartet with the Jacobsens, will also participate in an exciting program along with the phenomenal pianist Kimball Gallagher that includes Saint-Saens beloved “Carnival of the Animals”, Schumann’s romantic piano quintet, Piazzolla’s thrilling tangos and Liszt’s famous Hungarian Rhapsody. The New Yorker has described Levingston as “elegant and engaging…a poetic pianist who has a gift for glamorous programming,” while The New York Times describes the show as “a hauntingly serene performance by Mr. Levingston and Mr. Jacobsen”.
