November 3 - November 9: Listening/Instrumental Assignment (remember that listening assignments apply to the weeks during which the listening is assigned.)

This next year we will be focusing on one major concert pianist each month. This month is Evgeny Kissin.

Please peruse this website for a few minutes on Hamelin to know a little bit more about him each week (check out his concert schedule!):
