Event Details

If you’re an aficionado of the works by composer Franz Liszt, you’ll want to mark your calendar for Friday, Feb. 6, as Del Mar College’s Cultural Programs Series and Music Department present pianist Eduardus Halim for an All-Liszt Recital. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. in Wolfe Recital Hall on the Heritage Campus with Halim playing Apparitions and Transcendental Etudes. Praised by The New York Times as “...a blazing talent plus an unusual empathy with nineteenth-century Romanticism,” Halim has captured the imagination of piano lovers with the originality and maturity of his interpretations. As the last pupil of legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz, Halim has received awards from the prestigious Young Concert Artists International Auditions and the Avery Fisher Career Grant. He has performed with many orchestras, such as the Chicago, Montreal, Philadelphia, Russian National, San Francisco, Houston, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vancouver and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Currently, he holds the inaugural Sascha Gorodnitzki Faculty Chair in Piano Studies, in the Department of Music at Steinhardt, New York University. Halim’s performance is free and open to the public.
