Sarofim Music Series: Lara Downes, piano

Lara Downes is an iconoclastic pianist whose artistry has been called "luscious, moody and dreamy" by the New York Times and "ravishing" by Fanfare Magazine. Downes’ performances have taken her across the country to some of the most prestigious venues, including New York City’s Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Le Poisson Rouge and Yoshi’s in San Francisco. She strives to connect music to a wide range of human experiences and to express the diversity of American history and American dreams. The HuffingtonPost has called her unique style “addicting – Downes plays with an open, honest heart.” Join the Music Department as Downes presents Sounds Like America.
