Internationally renowned concert pianist, Jeffrey Siegel brings Keyboard Conversations to Houston. Primarily a concert and each work performed in its entirety, Keyboard Conversations are concerts with commentary as Mr. Siegel speaks briefly and informally to the audience before performing each composition, making the music more accessible and the listening experience more focused and meaningful.
