Musician-in-residence Brian Ganz is featured throughout February on WETA Arts. The show, a portion of which was recorded at the Nancy R. & Norton T. Dodge Performing Arts Center on campus, focuses on Ganz's nearly 15-year quest to perform the entire catalog of 240 works by composer Fryderyk Chopin.
The next-to-last performance in that series takes place on Friday, February 28 at the Music Center at Strathmore. For information on how to view or stream the WETA Arts show, visit the WETA website or the SMCM events calendar.
Founded in 1961, WETA is the leading public broadcasting station in the nation’s capital, serving Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia with educational, cultural, news and public affairs programs and services.
Ganz has appeared as soloist with such orchestras as the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, the National Philharmonic, the Baltimore and the National Symphonies, the City of London Sinfonia, and L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte Carlo. He has performed in many of the world’s major concert halls and has played under the baton of such conductors as Leonard Slatkin, Mstislav Rostropovich, Pinchas Zukerman, Jerzy Semkow and Yoel Levi.
