This season, Mr. Adler celebrates the return of live music with a noontime recital on November 9 at the Yamaha Artist Services Piano Salon in New York City, featuring Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 21 (Waldstein), and an adaptation of the Horowitz Variations on a Theme from Bizet’s Carmen.

They have been performed worldwide: from Christchurch, New Zealand, to Tallinn, Estonia; New York City to San Francisco; at Carnegie Hall, Merkin Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the United Nations, and at the Statue of Liberty 200th anniversary celebration.
