Menahem Pressler featured in Sally Fleming Master Class and Concert

March 2009

Established in 1997 to honor of Sally Fleming, former first lady of the University of Michigan, this master class and concert series was created to provide opportunities for music students to work with, learn from, and be inspired by outstanding artists currently active on the concert stage.

Our guest this semester is Menahem Pressler, founding pianist of the Beaux Arts Trio and one of the most well regarded chamber musicians in the world. Of his playing, The New York Times once wrote, “. . . a poet, time and again revealing unexpected depths in works that have been endlessly plumbed and surveyed.”
