"A classical composer is madman who composes music that is incomprehensible to his own generation." Sergei said. "To write only according to the rules laid down by classical composers of the past means to be only a pupil and not a master." Sergei Prokofiev originally wrote his much-beloved 2nd piano concerto in 1913. At its premier the majority of the audience were incensed, but Modernists were enthralled with the work's originality. Join us Wednesday from 8 to 10 p.m. to hear the piece in a new recording by award-winning pianist Anna Shelest.
