Hershey Felder

Hershey Felder, Beethoven bursts onto the Mountain View Performing Arts Center as a full, classical concert, played magnificently by the sole performer as pianist and punctuated by a narrated story that is populated by both Beethoven and the major players of his life who influenced his music.  Number after number springs forth from the performing aficionado’s keyboard, most of which audience members can quickly identify if not by name, certainly by familiar phrases full of musical drama and by well-known runs melodic and mesmerizing.
