The consummate pianist Emanuel Ax brings a lifetime of authority to every musical setting—whether as a soloist with the world’s leading orchestras, chamber musician, Grammy-winning recording artist, or recitalist. With “bountiful imagination, delicacy when called for and thundering power” (The New York Times) he returns to Shriver Hall performing essential repertoire including Schumann’s powerful Fantasie in C major.

Please join us for a Pre-Concert Talk at 4:30pm in Shriver Hall with University of Maryland's Dr. Elizabeth Massey.
