The La Jolla Music Society presents celebrated Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov in a tour-de-force program that showcases his ferocious technical skill and expressive artistry.

Join Dr. Brown-Montesano for a pre-concert exploration of how art connects to life in three of the programmed works: Tchaikovsky’s Children’s Album, Op. 39, Ravel’s treacherously difficult Gaspard de la nuit, and Scriabin’s mysterious Piano Sonata No. 5, Op. 53.
