Murray Perahia, piano

In a return to Zellerbach Hall, Cal Performances welcomes Murray Perahia, an artist who for decades has defined the essence of piano virtuoso. Now at the peak of his powers, this respected performer "may be the closest thing to a pure conduit of music—one in which the imagination and skill of the player are entirely at the service of the composer, not the player's ego...The soul of a poet, the mind of a thinker, the hands of a virtuoso: No wonder audiences love this guy"(Seattle Times)
