SUMMARY:Xiang Zou\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Lutkin Hall\, 700 University Place\, Evanston\, IL 60208\, $9/7/5
A member of the Central Conservatory piano faculty in Beijing\, pianist Xiang Zou celebrates the centennial of Olivier Messiaen’s birth with a performance of the French master’s monumental Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant Jésus.
