Leif Ove Andsnes
Pictures Reframed
Sunday, Nov. 22 at 2 pm
Wortham Center's Cullen Theater
"The most accomplished pianist of the new generation" (The New York Times), international piano star Leif Ove Andsnes debuts with his latest collaboration centered around Mussorgsky's epic piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition with video installation by South African artist Robin Rhode. With more than 30 recordings, the 38-year-old Norweigan pianist has received his homeland's most distinguished honor, Commander of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav. In 2007, he received the prestigious Peer Gynt Prize, awarded by members of parliament to honor prominent Norwegians for their achievements in politics, sports and culture. Andsnes has also received the Royal Philharmonic Society's Instrumentalist Award, the Gilmore Artist Award, four Gramophone Awards and seven Grammy nominations - including a nomination this year for his latest recording of Mozart piano concertos with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. Saluting his many achievements, Vanity Fair named Andsnes one of the "Best of the Best" in 2005.
Tickets start at $22.
