Our season opener—the first live concert since February 2020—will be held at our regular venue, the First Church in Boston (66 Marlborough Street, Boston, MA 02116) on Saturday, October 30, 2021 at 7:30pm. Ian Lindsey, long praised for his breathtaking virtuoso performances, will celebrate the 210th birthday of Franz Liszt with an all-Liszt program. The works of Liszt are at the center of Mr. Lindsey’s repertoire. He presented the complete Hungarian Rhapsodies ten years ago for Liszt’s bicentenary, and has performed the complete Paganini Etudes, the Dante Sonata, and many other pieces by the Hungarian master. For the opening of our new season, he will offer a thrilling program of Liszt’s mature and late works—including not only beloved warhorses, such as the First Mephisto Waltz and “Venezia e Napoli,” but also several lesser-known masterpieces, such as the Fantasia and Fugue on BACH and excerpts from the Third Année de Pèlerinage.
