Leif Ove Andsnes, piano

Norwegian pianist Leif Ove Andsnes makes his long-awaited return to Spivey Hall with a program featuring the four lyrical and dramatic Ballades by Frederic Chopin. Pianist-in-Residence of the Berlin Philharmonic in the 2010-2011 season, Andsnes is a highly sought-after artist whose performances and recordings combine technical mastery with "unassuming and superlative artistry" (Gramophone).

"The most accomplished pianist of the new generation" (The New York Times).
