Bandoneon virtuoso JP Jofre joins in a tribute to Astor Piazolla, and in a rare performance of Schubert's enchanting E-flat Trio. This concert features a range of historical pianos from the Steven E. Greenstein Collection by Broadwood 1825, Bechstein 1895, and a 9-foot concert grand once belonging to Liberace.
