Her program will include “Estampes,” by Claude Debussy; “Music from Romantic Manila,” s set of pieces by several Filipino composers; “Rondo in G Major,” by Ludwig van Beethoven; and “Fantasy in C Major Op. 15,” by Franz Schubert.

Pinkas, an Israeli-born pianist, has been a recitalist and chamber musician throughout the United States, Europe, Asia, Russia and Nigeria.
