Fingers of masters

How has music influenced the modern world during the past century? David Dubal, pianist and teacher from Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music, will join hands with Chinese pianist Sheng Yuan (pictured) in a concert to try to answer that question. Titled Golden Age of Piano, the concert will see Dubal, the author of Reflections from the Keyboard, and Sheng play and give commentary about the great piano works and musicians through the years, including Bach, Chopin, Mendelssohn and Liszt.
