This concert is a salute to Wladziu Valentino Liberace, perhaps the best known virtuoso pianist of the twentieth century.
"Liberace," who embraced a wildly flamboyant lifestyle both on and off the stage, "didn't just give concerts, he put on a show."
He was best known for making classical music more fun and accessible for his raving audiences.
