Internationally-renowned pianist performs at Thousand Islands Playhouse

Gilles Vonsattel PianistSwiss-born pianist, Gilles Vonsattel, performs August 31 as part of the Tuesday Night classical music series at Thousand Islands Playhouse.

Vonsattel won the Walter W.

Hally, a white South African, is torn between his bigoted biological father’s expectations of him and those of his surrogate fathers, Sam and Willy, two black waiters who work in his mother’s café.
