“Remarkable intelligence, interpretation and artistry.” — Seattle Times

Emanuel Ax is in the top rank of international piano stars, with a career that has taken him to every major venue and orchestra in the world. His return to Fort Worth—in this lovely smaller venue—will be an extraordinary treat for local piano lovers. “His greatness, his overwhelming authority as musician, technician, and probing intellect emerges quickly as he plays,” says the Los Angeles Times. “Within minutes, we are totally captured by his intensity and pianistic achievement.”
