Francesca Hurst, Piano

All Ages

Sunday, June 8, 2 p.m.

Recognized for her “tender lyricism” (The Washington Post), yet not afraid to shout, swing her foot onto the piano or don fingerless gloves if the music demands it, Pianist Francesca Hurst divides her playing between classical and contemporary music. She makes sense of the music regardless of style and period and is passionate about connecting with audiences. Hurst is on the piano faculty at The Catholic University of America and the University of Virginia.
