What do you do when 2 hands isn't enough for the sound you want? Play the piano with 4 hands! It’s all hands on deck when Evan Ritter and Matthew Eng come to the Open Classical Artist Series this month.
Evan Ritter is no stranger to our Artist Series. As the pianist of the Windsor Trio, he has performed in consecutive summers on our series. This year, he comes with his good friend and fellow pianist Matthew Eng, also a student at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. Together, they dazzle with double the techical skill and natural musicality.
