30 May 2026 Saturday 7:15pm Francesca Hurst, Piano Virtuoso, & POTLUCK dinner buffet 100/49 ...DRAFT...
PRIOR Program 250411: Francesca Hurst presents "Reflections", a solo recital featuring works by Elena Kats-Chernin, Michael Thomas Foumai, Florence Price, and an exploration of the nocturne from John Field to today. PROGRAM TBD...
Recognized for her “tender lyricism” (The Washington Post), yet not afraid to shout, swing her foot onto the piano or don fingerless gloves if the music demands it, pianist Francesca Hurst divides her playing evenly between classical and contemporary music, and has a special interest in women composers. She makes sense of the music regardless of style and period, and is passionate about connecting with audiences. She teaches piano and piano pedagogy at The Catholic University of America and piano at the University of Virginia. Appearances include:
Rappahannock Concert Association
Ward Virts Concert Series
Virginia Tech Concert Artist Series
Davies Concert Series
Tulane University Concert Artist Series
Alden Theater Concert Series
Reston Meet the Artists Series
Mildred McDaniel Concert Series
