Leonardo Colafelice, piano

Sunday, October 15, 4 pm Opperman Hall, FSU

“He drew a rich, full tone…even in the somewhat crazed textures of the cadenza, and countered dramatic passages with stretches of poetry in an emotionally mature performance.”
— Daniel Hathaway, clevelandclassical.wordpress.com
