RISING STAR CONCERT – ERIC LU, PIANIST (Tavernier)

Please be advised that this performance will now begin at 7:00 PM instead of the previously announced 7:30 PM.

As many of you know, our goal is to bring the best concert piano to our Upper Keys venue. See the campaign details and progress at https://floridakeysconcerts.com/steinway-piano-fundraiser.

To help this cause, the Board of Directors has decided to demonstrate for you the difference between our current six-foot Petrof piano and a nine-foot Steinway concert grand piano. The Steinway company has graciously loaned us a piano, and Eric Lu will start the performance by playing the same music piece(es) on both instruments.

Pianist Eric Lu won First Prize at The Leeds International Piano Competition in 2018 at the age of 20. The following year, he signed an exclusive contract with Warner Classics, and has since collaborated with some of the world’s most prestigious orchestras, and presented in major recital venues.
