Key Pianists Concert Series continues 10th anniversary season at Carnegie Hall
Award-winning pianist Terry Eder, Key Pianists' founder, performs on February 12
Program features works by Bartók, Schubert, Debussy, and Beethoven
The award-winning pianist Terry Eder performs a solo recital presented by Key Pianists Concert Series on Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 7:30 pm at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall (154 West 57th Street in New York City). Her program includes music by Schubert, Debussy, Beethoven, and Bartók.
Eder is a specialist in Hungarian music, having studied with Zoltán Kocsis at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest in the 1980s. That experience transformed the young pianist. "It was the days of the cold war, when Americans simply did not go to Eastern Europe. The pervasiveness and pride in musical heritage was overwhelming," says Eder. "I became captivated with the uniqueness of the Hungarian language and sensibility, the rustic scenery, the beautiful old architecture, the delicious food, the Parliament still full of bullet holes from WWII, the Turkish baths, the feeling of being so foreign, so out of place." Program highlights include two seldom-programmed works by Bartók - the Sonatine and the Two Romanian Dances - alongside Beethoven's Sonata No. 15 and works by Schubert and Debussy. (Full program details below.)
The recital is part of the Key Pianists Concert Series' 10th anniversary season. Since Terry Eder founded the series in 2015, it has provided a platform for renowned pianists to perform at Carnegie Hall who otherwise might not have the opportunity to perform in New York City.
Tickets for Eder's February 12 recital start at $30 ($25 + $5 fee) and are available at CarnegieHall.org | 212-247-7800 | Box Office at 57th and Seventh Avenue.
