Hosted by Steve Robinson, former general manager of WFMT, join us on May 16 at 4:00 p.m. CDT to hear the world premiere recording of one of Rembrandt’s favorite guest artists, pianist Jeannie Yu, as she performs Mozart’s Piano Sonata no. 18 in D Major, K.576.
You’ll also hear from Rembrandt’s founders Robert and Sandra Morgan, and some of Steve Robinson’s favorite selections from our 30-year archive of uplifting, glorious performances from the chamber repertoire!
We hope you can join us to enjoy and support Rembrandt’s musicians during this challenging time.
