Debut Concert:
Brahms at Twilight
Ari Livne, Piano
November 15, 2026, 3:00 PM
What do we hear when a great composer writes amidst loss and decline? In this intimate concert-portrait, pianist Ari Livne pairs Brahms’s late piano miniatures (Opuses 116–119) with brief spoken vignettes that illuminate the composer’s daily routines, letters, friendships, and frustrations.
Moving through tenderness and turbulence, the program penetrates Brahms’s public legend to reveal the private human being - one navigating loss, love remembered, and the stubborn comedy of daily life.
Come spend an evening in close company with Brahms. You may never hear him the same way again.
