Special Event: Olga Kern in Recital – Party

March 18, 2011
7:30 pmto10:30 pm

Cancelledfeaturing internationally acclaimed pianist, Olga Kern ~ 2001 Van Cliburn Gold Medalist.

This spectacular solo recital features the music of Clara and Robert Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, and Balakirev.

A dazzling performer, 2001 Van Cliburn Competition winner Olga Kern will present a solo recital of virtuoso music for piano. Kern, noted for her mesmerizing presence as well as her command of the keyboard, will pair music by Clara and Robert Schumann, including Carnaval, Op. 9 with monumental works from her homeland of Russia—Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Sonata, Piano Sonata No. 9 by Alexander Scriabin and Balakirev’s virtuoso showpiece, Islamey (Oriental Fantasy).

“The audience jumped to its feet in well-deserved ovations, and the monumentally talented artist responded with encores that stretched beyond this review’s deadline. From feather-light musical whispers to explosive instrumental fireworks, Kern’s rare gift is that of a serious and true musician, whose golden touch is never harsh and always controlled.”
