"Extreme Chopin" with Brian Ganz

 Less than a year ago, Pianist Brian Ganz began his “Extreme Chopin” quest to perform all of Frédéric Chopin’s works. The soldout recital at Strathmore’s Music Center launched Ganz’s ambitious endeavor to perform the approximately 250 works of Chopin over the next decade.
