D. M. Deleanu
"...gentle as a whisper in the night."
A concert goer
FRANCESCA HURST
Recognized for her “tender lyricism” (The Washington Post), yet not afraid to shout, swing her foot onto the piano or don fingerless gloves if the music demands it, pianist Francesca Hurst divides her playing evenly between classical and contemporary music, and has a special interest in women composers. She makes sense of the music regardless of style and period, and is passionate about connecting with audiences. She teaches piano and piano pedagogy at The Catholic University of America.
