Virtuoso pianist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner returns to LongHouse for an evocative open-air performance in front of the iconic Fly’s Eye Dome. His program, Fantasies and Daydreaming, is a journey through imagination and memory, featuring works by Ravel, Bach, Chopin, Meredith Monk, Gershwin, and Louis Moreau Gottschalk.
From the playful rhythms of Gershwin’s Preludes to the introspective beauty of Chopin’s Nocturne, the afternoon promises lyrical reverie and dazzling technique. Highlights include Bach’s Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso, and Monk’s poignant Ellis Island.
Surrounded by art, nature, and the serenity of our gardens, experience music in sanctuary—where sound, spirit, and setting come together in harmony.
