A virtual concert to be held online via Zoom, Amore will bring all the classics within easy reach of its audience. Headlined by the talented Cecile Licad in New York, and with an interview by fellow pianist David Dubal, Amore will begin with an opening of Frederic Chopin’s "Études Op.10 No.3 in E major, Farewell L' Adieu". Set to be an emotional performance, Cecile Licad will then follow with Ludwig van Beethoven's "Sonata No. 14 in C Sharp Minor", more popularly known as "Moonlight Sonata". Through the hour and a half performance, Licad will also charm listeners with melodies by Sergei Rachmaninoff amid the background of Historical Ballroom of the Lotos Club in New York City.
