With the Museum’s salon-style wall of American landscape paintings as inspiration and backdrop, Federico Ercoli, graduate fellow at the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards, will perform a program of nineteenth- and twentieth-century piano music themed to “Nature and the Sublime.” Compositions by Robert Schumann, John Cage, and Franz Liszt will be played on the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards’ John Broadwood & Sons 1865 grand piano. Jakub Koguciuk, Lynch Postdoctoral Associate for Curricular Engagement, will provide context and connections with the surrounding artworks.
Cosponsored by the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards, this free event is open to all. Galleries on the first floor will remain open for visitors during this event.
