After her triumphant sell-out appearance at Le Poisson Rouge earlier this year with Sarah Rothenberg in Olivier Messiaen’s two-piano Visions de l’Amen, Marilyn Nonken returns to the Bleecker Street venue tomorrow night, Tuesday 9 November, in a solo performance of Miguel Chuaqui’s Blues en el Corazon (2009) and Frederic Rzewski’s The People United Will Never Be Defeated! (1976). She played both pieces just last week in Santiago, Chile, as part of the centennial celebration of that nation’s independence; tomorrow night she plays them for New Yorkers. When she last played The People United … in New York in 2005, The New York Times said, “Ms. Nonken’s playing was the victory of a survivor who had met every mood and outburst head on and with style, outlasting every obstacle.”

Tickets are available here; the doors open at 6.30pm for the 7.30pm performance. We’ll look forward to seeing you there.
