Lise de la Salle conjures an ephemeral dreamscape of reflections, folk and dance inspired solo piano music. 

A pianist of sensibility and maturity, Lise de la Salle is one of today’s most exciting young artists. ​“For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe… the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard” (Washington Post ). Lise takes us on a joyful and contemplative storytelling journey discovering and merging Mozart’s jubilant Rondo and French rhyme Twelve Variations on Ah vous dirai je, Maman together with Fauré’s folk-inspired work in Barcarolle, with the sensitive explorations of Ravel’s Miroirs, culminating in Chopin’s balletic dance piece Ballade.
