Hayes Piano Series
Julia Hamos, piano
Saturday, May 16, 2026, 2:00 p.m.
Hopkins Bloomberg Center Theater
Hungarian-American pianist Julia Hamos presents a program that bridges centuries and styles and features two of the most important composers from Hungary. Beginning with a selection from Kurtág’s Játékok, she navigates through Haydn’s Sonata in E minor, Ligeti’s Études (Arc-en-ciel, Der Zauberlehrling, Fanfares), and Mozart’s Sonata in A minor, culminating in Schumann’s beloved Fantasie in C Major. Hamos’s adventurous spirit and compelling artistry promise an evening of compelling musical exploration.
The Hayes Piano Series is presented by Washington Performing Arts, in cooperation with the Peabody Institute and Hopkins Bloomberg Center.
