Colloquia
Since Peabody's Leon Fleisher made
his 1944 Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Philharmonic,
his contributions to classical music as pianist, conductor
and teacher have been immeasurable. This week, the Shriver
Hall Concert Series celebrates his 80th birthday with a
screening of the Academy Award-nominated documentary 'Two
Hands' followed by four-hand compositions by Dvorak, Ravel
and Schubert performed with former students Jonathan Biss,
Yefim Bronfman and Katherine Jacobson Fleisher. See
