“Bowled over by what I heard…Rubackyté is one of today’s most important pianists.” —John von Rhein (Chicago Tribune)
Named “one of the world’s greatest Liszt players” by Fanfare magazine, Lithuanian pianist Mûza Rubackyté (MOO-za Ru-but-SKEE-teh) returns to Britt to help us celebrate the 200th birthday of classical music’s first pop star, Franz Liszt. This gala opening night concert closes with Tchaikovsky’s rousing audience-pleaser, Capriccio Italien.
