What happens when a great composer’s imagination takes a strange turn?
Pianist Matthew Hagle presents a program that explores just that!➡️

Don't miss "Jesters and Gargoyles: Humor, Imagination, and Virtuosity in the Piano Repertoire"!💫

Each of the works on this program has a streak of humor, oddity, or capriciousness in its makeup, turning the structure and discipline of traditional classical forms and styles on its head.

Saturday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Nichols Concert Hall, 1490 Chicago Avenue, Evanston.
