 \, trademarked and titled Concerts &amp\; Conversation\, bring a refreshin
 g dimension to the solo piano concert by incorporating an informal and eng
 aging commentary about the music\, composers\, and the artist's own person
 al experiences\, into a first-rate concert. The engaging way that these pe
 rformances are presented at once stimulates and enhances the interest of t
 he infrequent concertgoer\, yet also contains the level of sophistication 
 for the connoisseur's enjoyment.\n\nThis evening's programme will see the 
 India premiere of two works\; one by the artist\, and one by the Grammy Aw
 ard winning composer and producer Michael Dalmau Colina.&nbsp\;
