Weekend Concert Series
Marc-André Hamelin, piano
Sunday, February 2, 2025
1:30 pm
CALDERWOOD HALL
Marc-André Hamelin holds a unique position among star pianists. In his concerts and in the over 70 discs he has released, his peerless technique has given him entree into repertoire too fearsome for most players; his insatiable curiosity has led him to uncover hundreds of works; and his penetrating musicianship makes an inarguable case for whatever music he is championing. We are thrilled to have him make his long-overdue Gardner Museum debut.
