The Cornell Concert Series welcomes pianist Jonathan Biss for a concert of music by Franz Schubert and Tyson Davis on Friday, February 21 at 7:30pm in Bailey Hall. He is a frequent guest on Performance Today and he joins us to talk about how, lacking performances during the COVID shut-down, he found time to explore the depths of Schubert's last two sonatas, and about commissioning a new work from the then-23-year-old Davis. He also talks about his outreach to performers dealing with anxiety issues.
