Keyboard Conversations® Glorious Musical Jewels - Beethoven and Schubert Beethoven's joyous Polonaise, beloved Für Elise, humorous Bagatelles; Schubert's tender Waltzes, fiery F Minor Impromptu, and heavenly Ave Maria. Keyboard Conversations® is a concert series that combines dynamic performances of piano masterpieces with engaging discussions about the stories behind the music. This innovative format offers both seasoned concertgoers and newcomers an enriched listening experience, fostering a deeper appreciation for the classical repertoire. Over the past four decades, Siegel's series has become a staple in the Cleveland cultural scene, drawing audiences eager to explore the nuances of classical compositions. Each performance will conclude with a lively Q&A session, allowing audience members to engage directly with Siegel and gain further insights into the music. Reflecting on the enduring appeal of Keyboard Conversations®, Siegel notes, "In this impersonal, computerized age, the need for great music is even greater than when I started the series. My goal is to make the listening experience more than 'a pleasant ear wash of sound' for the avid music lover and to provide an accessible, inviting experience for someone new to classical music."
