After a two-year pandemic hiatus, pianist Alexander Paley’s Richmond music festival will return for three concerts in mid-September.
Paley and Peiwen Chen, his wife and duo and 4-hands piano partner, will be joined by violinist Amiram Ganz, a frequent participant in past festivals, for two all-Schubert programs and another of piano arrangements of works by Richard Strauss and Johann Strauss II.
The festival will be staged at St Luke Lutheran Church, 7757 Chippenham Parkway. Tickets are $20 per concert.
