We’re keyed in for acclaimed pianist Martina Filjak’s “mini-residency” with the Asheville Symphony, headlined by Masterworks 4: Ciao Italia on Saturday, Feb. 15.

She’ll perform Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2 alongside Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony & more.

You can also catch Filjak in a solo performance: She will take the stage for a Solo Piano Recital on Tuesday, Feb. 11.

Pairing Baroque works with passionate Romantic compositions, this recital will create a rich journey through two musical epochs, featuring Liszt, Schumann, Bach, & more.

Hear Filjak firsthand
