Mateusz Kowalski: Chopin's F Minor Piano Concerto, Arranged for Guitar (US PREMIERE!)

Presented by Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts

Mateusz Kowalski returns! We presented Mateusz’s San Francisco debut last year, and featured his performance as a part of our “Live From St. Mark’s” series on YouTube. Join us as we welcome back the “spectacular” and “truly breathtaking” guitarist for another thrilling concert.

The second half of this concert will feature a groundbreaking arrangement of Chopin’s Piano Concerto in F minor for guitar and string quartet (A US Premiere!). Opening the concert will be a special performance by the SFCM Guitar Youth Honors Quartet.
