Garrick Ohlsson In Recital

Garrick Ohlsson In Recital at Severance Music Center

Chopin can make a piano sound like someone whispering a secret, then fill the room with thunder. Garrick Ohlsson has spent a lifetime mastering that contrast. Hearing his all-Chopin recital in person is the reward.

Garrick Ohlsson has been exploring Chopin since his competition victory in 1970. That’s the draw of Garrick Ohlsson In Recital at Severance Music Center: a full performance shaped around a composer whose poetry, drama, and flash all live side by side.

The program moves through Nocturnes, the Barcarolle, Fantaisie, Scherzo No. 3, Impromptu No. 2, and Piano Sonata No. 3—a lineup that asks for refinement, depth, and fearless technique. Ohlsson is a natural fit. The Cleveland Orchestra calls him one of Chopin’s great interpreters, and his official biography traces that authority back to his 1970 victory at the Chopin International Piano Competition. That history matters because it points to a musician who doesn’t just play this repertoire; he has spent a career living inside it. Classical concerts
