Francine Kay – Piano at Wentworth Villa
Celebrate the New Year with Juno-nominated Canadian pianist Francine Kay and her program for solo piano Things Lived and Dreamt. Francine Kay, visiting from Princeton University will play repertoire from her recent CD recording of piano music by celebrated Czech composers Dvorak and Suk, Debussy, renowned living Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, and the brilliant but tragically short-lived female composer Vítězslava Kaprálová.
