Wael Farouk is an internationally acclaimed pianist and piano faculty member at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City. His performance this year will be a sequel to last year’s and will include Chopin’s 1st Sonata, Four Impromtus, and Four Scherzi. These works are again among the most beloved for the piano, capturing both the pain and beauty of the human condition and highlighting our need for redemption.
