A4 Collective is dedicated to bringing people together through classical music and the piano. As part of this initiative we regularly host musicians to perform and share their work, bringing people together through intimate salon style performances that were once popular in the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Join us for an evening of piano music written for the night, presented by pianist, Jae Kyo Han. Beginning with John Field, the creator of the nocturne, we will make our way through the 19th Century to the very start of the 20th, listening to Field’s influence throughout the works of Chopin, Grieg, Lyapunov, and Debussy.
Please use the door on the LEFT to access the stairs to the studio on the second floor. Doors open at 7:30pm. Music begins ~7:45pm.
