Hear pianists Justin Levitt and Susan Hammond in concert on this Steinway Concert Grand Piano #503...and YOU have the chance of a lifetime to play this incredible instrument, too!
Come celebrate the life and music of the most famous pianist virtuoso of our era. For over 60 years, Vladimir Horowitz dazzled his adoring public with his incredible technique and poetic introspection. Along with fascinating video clips and anecdotes, Sue Hammond and Justin Levitt will perform some of his most famous repertoire by Schumann, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin as well as some original compositions on his iconic personal Steinway #503. This piano has travelled everywhere from New York to Russia and Japan - and now it takes up residence in the Bay Area for the public to absorb some of the Horowitz 'magic'.
