Key Pianists Concert Series presents Roberto Plano at Carnegie Hall
Award-winning pianist opens 2026-27 season on November 19
Program features works by Schubert, Liszt, Copland, Mompou, and Gershwin
Key Pianists Concert Series opens its 11th season with a solo recital performed by the award-winning pianist Roberto Plano on Thursday, November 19, 2026 at at 7:30 pm at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall (154 West 57th Street in New York City).
The first half of the program includes works by Franz Liszt and Franz Schubert: composers who represent the two ends of the Romantic period. Liszt was a strong advocate of his predecessor, and Plano's program connects these dots, with a Liszt arrangement of Schubert's "Der doppelganger," plus selections from Liszt's "Harmonies poétiques et religieuses," a waltz by Schubert, and more.
On the second half of the program, Plano performs Catalan composer Federico Mompou's "Impresiones Intimas," framed by "El Salón México" (arranged by Leonard Bernstein) and George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue."
The Key Pianists Concert Series was established in 2015 by pianist and artistic director Terry Eder. The series emphasizes impactful and thoughtful programs, carefully selected to showcase the pianist’s individual sensibility.
Artists featured in the Key Pianists Concert Series have included Sara Davis Buechner, Danny Driver, Jason Hardink, Cecile Licad, Ann Schein and Peter Takács, among others. Under Terry Eder’s leadership, the series continues to foster a rich and intimate dialogue between performer, music, and listener—upholding the piano recital as a profound and enduring art form.
