When a Lone Piano Isn’t Enough

Ricardo Barros

The 40 members of the Princeton Pianists Ensemble prove that the piano isn’t always a solo instrument or accompaniment: Some pieces feature 10 performers at once. The group, shown above at its annual “Piano Extravaganza” in McAlpin Hall, will play during Communiversity April 17. At top, view a performance of the Danse Infernale and the Finale from Stravinsky’s “Firebird Suite,” courtesy of the Princeton Pianists Ensemble.
