About
The concert program explores the nexus between tradition and innovation as they are exemplified in some of the most pronounced piano works of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Harvard Fellow and Turkish pianist Seda Röder will introduce the works on the program in short and informative moderations which will guide the audience through the sound worlds of these contemporary compositions. Nota bene: The program can also be presented without the lecture component.
