Ten years later, he returned to Warsaw to win the top prize, the People’s Prize, and the Polonaise Prize. Since then, he has won critical and audience acclaim throughout the world and is known as one of the great interpreters of Chopin, “fulfilling a criterion which one only knows from great Chopinists such as Rubinstein, Benedetti-Michelangeli and Dinu Lipatti.” (Schwaebishe Zeitung, Germany) For us, he will perform works by Debussy, Liszt, Ravel, Janaçek, Rorem, and of course, Chopin (24 Preludes).

Since their performance on the Lane Series over five years ago, we’ve been hankering to have them back: students and faculty are still talking about their incredible jazz guitar workshop we hosted as part of that visit. Django and Stephane may have invented the style, but the HCSF keeps it alive for a modern audience!

Traditional vocal world music has always been a favorite genre for the Lane Series audience. So when Aoife Clancy, the former vocalist of Cherish the Ladies and a singer we’ve always greatly admired, called to tell us about her new group, we were delighted to bring them to our hall. Four stunning female vocalists/instrumentalists from Ireland (Aoife), the US (Becky Chace), Australia (Kath Buckell), and Israel (Hadar Noiberg) come together to perform traditional and original music from their diverse cultures. Each is a noted artist in her own right; together, their voices blend into exquisite harmonies.
