Leon Fleisher in Concert

Coral Gables Congregational Church Community Arts Program August 2nd, 2007. 8:00 p.m.Leon Fleisher is the subject of the 2007 Academy-Award-nominated documentary Two Hands: The Leon Fleisher Story. This renowned classical pianist, conductor, and teacher was forced to retire when only 37-years old. It was the defining moment in his career until recently, when he began treatments that finally helped relieve focal dystonia: the neurological affliction that affected his right hand. Leon Fleisher recently made his first two-hand recording in 40 years, a sort of musical biography called Two Hands. The 2007 Summer Concert Series is privileged to present Leon Fleisher in recital. It’s another memorable Summer Concert Series evening. For more information, please call: 305.448.7421
