Music of the Future
Olga Pashchenko thinks outside the box. It is not either/or, but both/and for this Russian keyboard virtuoso: early and new music, piano and fortepiano.
The Piano Biennial opened with the oldest and newest piano concertos. In the years separating those two works, innumerable exciting pieces have been written for our favorite instrument – plenty to fill a whole Biennial.
During this late-night concerto, three world-class pianists will play their favorite groundbreaking short pieces. The program consists of pieces that revolutionized music history, pieces that exemplify new musical languages. How about Debussy’s innovative abundance of colors, Liszt’s incomparable virtuosity, or a starring part for the glissando on the rather angular keys of a grand piano? Shorts, from baroque to today!
