Maria Joao Pires
Pianist Maria João Pires, 80, has published the following statement: « I regret to inform you that I will have to step away from the stage for some time. A cerebrovascular health issue has arisen, which I see as a sign — perhaps a warning.I will devote this period to rediscovering the balance between body and spirit, and to finding joy in retreating, reading, meditating, and learning from the lessons life wishes to teach me.
