WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Classical pianist Richard Goode will perform at Stewart Center’s Loeb Playhouse at 3 p.m. Feb. 10.

This performance is presented by Purdue Convocations with support from The Piano Giving Circle, the Truitt Piano Performance Endowment, Marshall and Joyce Deutelbaum, and Ginny Tyler. 

At 2 p.m., prior to the performance, join WBAA’s John Clare for a discussion about the afternoon’s performance. 

For nearly 60 years, Richard Goode has been one of the world’s most dynamic, expressive pianists. At the height of his interpretive powers, this Grammy award-winning pianist will illuminate canonical works of Classical masters Haydn and Mozart, and Romantic works by Beethoven, Chopin, and Janáčzek. His appearance also marks the inaugural classical performance sponsorship of the Convos Piano Giving Circle, which helps bring world-class piano performances to Purdue. Following the 2015 gift of a new Steinway Concert Grand Piano from Janet and John Nine, Purdue Convocations has reignited its piano-based repertoire with the visionary support of the Piano Giving Circle and generous Friends. 

Tickets are $28 for adults and $20 for persons 18 years and younger, Purdue students and Ivy Tech Lafayette students. Tickets are available at the Stewart Center box office at 765-494-3933 or 800-914-SHOW. Group tickets are also available to groups of 10 more.
