Nationally acclaimed pianist Awadagin Pratt returns to Iris for a personal evening of solo and chamber music after his Grammy-award winning recording and performance of Rounds by Jessie Montgomery. Through his kaleidoscopic career as a pianist, conductor, educator, and curator of memorable musical moments, Awadagin Pratt shines a light on voices of the past and present. The evening will feature solo works by François Couperin, titled Pièces de clavecin, as well as the ebullient 25 Variations & Fugue on a Theme of Handel in B-flat Major by Johannes Brahms. The program culminates in a performance of Schubert’s masterpiece, Piano Quintet in A Major “The Trout” with members of the Iris Collective
