Known for his hit portrayals of musical geniuses in his beloved composer series, Felder now renders a different musical artist: himself - and sixteen other wild characters that color his story. In this deeply moving new play, Felder pulls back the curtain on his own tale. Growing up in Montreal as the child of Polish and Hungarian immigrants, a young Felder discovers the piano, its captivating music connecting him to his unsuspected heritage, while opening up a remarkable new world full of adventure, possibility, heartbreak, and connection.
Featuring performances of beloved compositions by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Bartók, and more, Hershey Felder: The Piano and Me recounts the inspiration behind more than 6,000 performances across the globe and offers a poignant and profoundly touching portrait of the power of music.
