In addition to his reputation as among the world’s foremost exponents of the music of Frederic Chopin, Ohlsson commands a broad repertoire that includes masterful interpretations of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. Ohlsson will perform Karol Szymanowski’s Concert Overture in E major, Op. 12 and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 with the Wroclaw Philharmonic Feb. 19.
