The ICCO is please to welcome back to the stage pianist Gilbert Kalish and Miri Yampolsky in Mozart’s double piano concerto. The profound influence of pianist Gilbert Kalish as an educator and pianist in myriad performances and recordings has established him as a major figure in American music-making. Yampolsky performs frequently in prestigious international festivals and also co-directs Ithaca’s own chamber music festival, Mayfest. This classically-inspired concert opens with Beethoven’s dramatic Leonore Overture No. 3 and ends with Mendelssohn’s joyous Italian Symphony.
