Noted for her musical command, cosmopolitan artistry, and visionary independence, pianist and Baltimore-native Sara Davis Buechner makes a long overdue return to Baltimore. She is one of the most original concert pianists and storytellers of our time. Ms. Buechner, who is a proud transgender woman, will help us kick off Pride Month 2023 with music of Handel, Chopin, Longas, Gershwin, and her own “Canción para dos niñas” along with stories from her career and experiences as a trans classical musician.
