New York's Kaufman Center recently underwent a $17 million renovation project to revitalize the building and update its Merkin Concert Hall. The Center unveiled the redesigned space earlier this month with an Opening Night Celebration, and this Monday, Merkin Hall offers a free Grand Piano Marathon "mega-concert." The New York Times recommends the six-hour event and counts as a highlight a performance by Michael Riesman, the music director of the Philip Glass Ensemble, of a suite from Glass's Dracula soundtrack, the full score of which Kronos Quartet recorded for Nonesuch in 1999.
