Gerlinde Kaltenbrunner has climbed all 14 of the 8,000+ meter peaks, from Annapurna to Everest. Upon completing the most daunting and feared mountain, K2, in the remote Karakoram Range, she became the first woman climber to do so without supplemental oxygen or porters. On stage she shares the highlights of a remarkable career and what it was like to be the first.

The pianist Elisabeth Brauss has been praised by Gramophone Magazine for “the maturity and sophistication of her thoughtful interpretations” which “would be the pride of any pianist twice her age.” Born in Hannover in 1995, Elisabeth is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting and versatile musicians of her generation.

The GRAMMY Award-winning Third Coast Percussion has commissioned international tabla superstar Zakir Hussain to compose a major new work that blends the sounds of tabla with a classically trained percussion ensemble.

Part of Third Coast Percussion’s 20th Anniversary season, this tour also brings new works by Jessie Montgomery, Jlin, and Tigran Hamasyan, with multiple premieres including at Carnegie Hall.
