Dynamic and engaging, pianist Francesca Hurst delights audiences with a mix of classical and contemporary music. Praised for her “quicksilver passagework” and “tender lyricism” by The Washington Post, listeners have described her playing as “moving and compelling” and “powerful yet sensitive”. She makes sense of music regardless of style and period, is passionate about communicating with audiences, and has a special interest in performing music by women. Versatile in both classical and new music repertoire, she has performed at the Kennedy Center and the National Gallery of Art, and internationally in Bulgaria, Italy,

Portugal, and France.
