A fun, upbeat concert that everyone will enjoy.“Pianist Stephen Prutsman has won major classical music competitions, he’s written arrangements for string quartets and pop stars and he writes jazz music for himself to play. So which musical world exactly does Prutsman live in? Not one in particular, Prutsman says.
