Maxwell Foster & Alex Raineri

Australian concert pianists Maxwell Foster & Alex Raineri join forces for a program of music requiring four hands and all 88 piano keys!

Featured will be a beautiful piece entitled Bloom, by rising Australian composer Natalie Nicolas, alongside Franz Shubert’s famous Fantasie in F Minor and Maurice Ravel’s evocative Rapsodie espagnole.

Maxwell Foster is no stranger to Emmanuel audiences, having performed here throughout his doctoral studies at Peabody — but this is a rare treat to hear international concert artist Alex Raineri in the USA. Join us for this special grand finale to the 2023–2024 Tuesdays at Six series!

• Maxwell Foster, piano
• Alex Raineri, piano

Note: A complimentary pre-concert welcome reception begins at 5:30 p.m. Please join us!

About the venue

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in the heart of Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Its tremendous stone tower at the corner of Cathedral and W. Read Streets serves as a beacon in this community, and the nave's warm acoustic and gentle ambiance contribute to creating an ideal environment in which to hear choral and chamber music.

In 2022, the church building underwent a $3.2M transformation to make each space in its physical plant fully accessible to all; included in this project was an elevator, increased ramp access, and new restroom facilities.
