With his trademark shock of surfer-blonde hair and charismatic performance style, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet defies stereotypes. Playing repertoire

You first notice his stalwart physique and good-natured grin, so it’s surprising that this American bass-baritone is often hailed for his portrayals of vulnerability in opera. Equally at home in recital, Owens’ interpretations of art song also possess “a distinct sense of character.”

This Canadian pianist and composer is known as a fearless technician whose “ferocious fingers” easily conquer works that would leave lesser pianists in a cold sweat. This program showcases Hamelin both as a thoughtful interpreter of more nuanced works and as a composer.

There’ll always be a place for the virtuoso recital, but it’s more interesting to collaborate with fully formed soloists … an exchange … rather than a dictation of ideas. —Carter Brey, LOS ANGELES TIMES

CAMERON CARPENTERFEATURING THE INTERNATIONAL TOURING ORGAN

Eddie Palmieri, piano | Pete Escovedo, timbales

These two legends of Latin music continue to thrill audiences. Ten-time Grammy® Award-winning pianist and bandleader Eddie Palmieri is the acknowledged inventor of the salsa

sound. Opening the show is master stickman Pete Escovedo who, like Palmieri, has spent decades fusing Latin, jazz, soul and funk into a new sound world. Two shows. One amazing night.

If organ music makes you think of decorous church hymns, this keyboard master — who favors sky-high Mohawk hair and sequined trousers — will change your mind

forever. Playing the mighty console of his own custom-built organ, he produces sonorities he has described as “suggestive, licentious and violent.”

Acoustic Africa will bring the African tradition of voice and song to life featuring two legendary musicians: South African Vusi Mahlasela, known for his

passionate, octave-leaping vocalizations, and as a collaborator with the likes of Dave Matthews Band, Sting, Paul Simon and Taj Mahal; and Malian Habib Koité,

whom Bonnie Raitt called “the most amazing guitarist I’ve heard in years.”

DEBUSSY: Jeux | PROKOFIEV: Piano Concerto No. 3 | STRAVINSKY: The Rite of Spring

Berkeley native Kent Nagano brings his Montreal Symphony Orchestra to perform three early 20th-century masterpieces.

MOZART: Rondo in A minor | BEETHOVEN: Sonata No 30, op. 109 Works by Sweelinck, Nielsen and Reger

In the 1960s, Peter Serkin was billed as the hippie pianist. Although he long ago traded in his dashikis for classic suits, he is still a questing iconoclast known for

programs that meld familiar classics with sublime, rarely played gems.
