DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Kaufman M.\nMusicians: Jonathan Biss\n\nSome things c
 an’t be said—they have to be played. In *Words Fail*\, pianist **Jonat
 han Biss** takes the stage at the **Kaufman Music Center on Tuesday\, May 
 12 at 7:30 PM** for a deeply introspective program that explores music’s
  unique ability to speak beyond language. Hailed for his “impeccable tas
 te and formidable technique” (The New Yorker)\, Biss moves seamlessly fr
 om the intimate lyricism of **Mendelssohn**’s *Songs Without Words* to t
 he searching\, fragmentary worlds of **Janáček** and **Kurtág**\, where
  silence and sound carry equal weight.\n\nThe evening builds toward the em
 otional core of **Schumann**’s *Fantasie in C Major*—a sweeping\, deep
 ly personal masterpiece that blurs the line between passion and introspect
 ion. Along the way\, works by **Amy Beth Kirsten** and **Schumann**’s ha
 unting *Ghost Variations* add layers of mystery and vulnerability. With **
 Groupmuse Nights Out** discounted tickets\, this is a rare chance to exper
 ience a pianist of exceptional depth in a program that lingers in the spac
 es where words fall away and music takes over. 🎹✨\n\n*Children 10+ ar
 e welcomed.*
