Hello! Welcome to Tuesday Conversation with Friends. Joining me today is a very special guest, Zsolt Bognar! He is a pianist, author, and the host for the award winning film series “Living The Classical Life” which has over 2.3 million subscribers on YouTube. This is what looks like to be a musician in the 21st century. We go deep into piano concert history in the US through the legends: Horowitz, Rachmaninoff, Josef Hoffmann, Glenn Gould, etc.. Discussing repertoire by Schubert, Schumann, Beethoven, etc.. The culture of social media and how it has impacted classical music experiences. As a concert pianist, Zsolt frequently gives inspiring performances in North America, Europe and Asia. We spoke about finding an unique path as a modern day classical musician, dealing with performance anxiety, working with the greats, the way Steinway Piano has impacted the concert history in the US, and much much more.
