Organizer: Roy Thomson Hall and tsoundcheck
Cost: $12
Pre-event estimate: 4 out of 5 based on Chris' recommendation

One piece of advice for tsoundcheck members: Avoid sitting in the choir section (seats directly facing the audience), or confidently move in vacant seats in the intermission. Any other comments, Chris?

Kissin is an acclaimed pianist. I admire Kissin's energy and skills, and his impressive hair style :) I was excited to be able to see him perform in a concert! He played Brahm's first piano concerto that night. Although piano concertos are my favorite genre of music, I don't hear this piece often as I find it lengthy and complex. However, the pre-concert talk by Rick Philips gave me some insights into the music. I listened for the range of emotions conveyed through the music, and tried to find the hints of Brahm's love for Clara Schumann in the slow movement (need some imagination here). Kissin also played Chopin’s fantasie impromptu and the minute waltz as encores. Both pieces are my favorites. What a delight!
