It's not news that the Shriver Hall Concert Series offers major artists from the classical music arena. Still, the 2012-2013 lineup strikes me as one of the starriest yet.For keyboard fans, two exceptionally imaginative virtuosos are slated: Marc-Andre Hamelin and Piotr Anderszewski.
The string soloists are nothing to sneeze at, either. Cellist Alban Gerhardt will give a recital, accompanied by pianist Cecile Licad. Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg will give a concert with pianist Anne-Marie McDermott and the Parker Quartet.
Speaking of chamber ensemble, two of the best from the younger generation will be ...
featured on the series: the Brentano and Pavel Haas quartets.Next season's baroque concert offers the brilliant Europa Galante, led by violinist Fabio Biondi.
And the annual vocal recital will be offered by the top-notch mezzo Magdalena Kozena, accompanied by a pianist who typically has the spotlight to himself -- the eminent Yefim Bronfman.
Like I said, one the starriest lineups yet.
