Description
Join us on Friday, September 29 on LFA’s campus for a free concert featuring Egyptian-American pianist Dr. Wael Farouk on our new Steinway grand piano. Dr. Wael Farouk has performed on five continents in such venues as the White Hall in St. Petersburg, Schumann’s house in Leipzig, and Carnegie Hall in New York, where his solo debut performance was described as “absolutely masterful.” In 2004, Dr. Farouk was given the honor of playing on Tchaikowsky’s piano—the first pianist to do so since Vladimir Horowitz. Praised as a “formidable and magnificent pianist” by the New York Concert Review, Dr. Farouk has had an extensive performing career. His performance history includes more than 70 concertos and 60 solo programs, spanning repertoire from Scarlatti to Bolcom and including the complete piano works of J.S. Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff.
