Le Piano Français

Since winning at the seventh Van Cilburn International Competition in the 1980s, French pianist Philippe Bianconi has enthralled audiences and critics throughout the world pursuing his musical itinerary and patiently carving out his path far from the media hype. (We hope this listing doesn't disrupt those plans.) The Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra welcomes back Mr. Bianconi, a frequent visitor to the Baton ROuge stage, for a long-awaited BRSO recital debut. 7:30 pm at the First Presbyterian Church. $35. (225) 383-0500 or brso.org.
