The Complete Chopin Cycle with Pianist David Rothman

Presented by The Old Church.

Tickets available on-line until 4:00pm day of the show. After 4:00pm TICKETS CAN BE PURCHASED AT THE DOOR AT 7PM.

It has been a life-long dream of pianist David Rothman to perform all of the solo compositions of Chopin, and now, in a series of concerts, occurring every other Wednesday through April 22, it has finally come to fruition.

David Rothman was born in Toronto, Canada in 1962. When he was ten years old he was awarded a piano scholarship, in open competition, to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School, Surrey, England. Members of the jury included Yehudi Menuhin and Nadia Boulanger. Among his teachers at the Menuhin School were Louis Kentner and Vlado Perlemuter. At age seventeen he won a piano scholarship to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he was a student of Mieczyslaw Horszowski and Seymour Lipkin.
