Chopin for (Not) a Change 

Closing out a crowded week in classical music, Garrick Ohlsson returns to CAMA Masterseries at the Lobero in a full-circle concert. The highly praised pianist, whose early triumph at the 1970 Chopin Piano Competition launched his career, will play an all-Chopin program on January 23. Ohlsson, whose half-century-plus of performing has put him at the forefront of American piano masters, one who commands a vast repertoire – he was last here in 2019 with an all-Brahms recital – has made a series of comprehensive recordings of Chopin that have received international acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the composer’s greatest living interpreters. The seven pieces on his current concert will encompass everything from “Nocturnes” to the “Piano Sonata No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 58.” Info at www.lobero.org.
