Piano music with the winner of the Chopin Compe­ti­tion

Tickets

7 to 9 p.m., break

The inter­na­tion­ally acclaimed pianist Yulianna Avdeeva draws an arc from the fore­fa­ther Bach to her favorite Romantic composers. The works of Chopin accompany her on her artistic journey to the present day. Her playing is char­ac­ter­ized by an extremely lively and poetic style, paired with a grandiose playing technique. Franz Liszt described Chopin’s preludes as poetic strokes of genius and the Pole’s music-histor­ical role model was clearly Bach’s Wohlthemperiertes Klavier — so the circle is complete here.
