From his debut at age nine with the Lithuanian National Symphony to international prominence performing solo concerts throughout the world, Rudolf’s passion has become to expand the accessibility of classical music to wider audiences. The virtuoso pianist, who weaves information and humorous asides into each program, shows the audience the direct musical line from Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody” to Johnny Cash’s “Walk the Line” and how Billy Joel might have drawn on classical structure to get to “Piano Man.”
