Experience the Carnegie Hall debut of Schaghajegh Nosrati, a phenomenal pianist praised by Sir András Schiff for her “astonishing clarity, purity, and maturity.” J. S. Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue makes for an exciting opening, as “Nosrati is a captivating Bachian; rhythmically infectious, supremely intelligent” (BBC Music Magazine). Beethoven’s beautiful “Pastoral” piano sonata, an uncommonly spacious work, follows. The concert’s second half begins with a spritely, fleet-fingered Haydn fantasia, while Alkan’s wonderfully varied (and woefully underperformed) piano symphony ends the performance in thrilling fashion.

“There is no shortage of organists who make their instruments roar...Demers made the instrument sing.”

Isabelle Demers

Walt Disney Concert Hall

The exceptionally talented protégé of Sir András Schiff makes her Koerner Hall debut with a program of works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Charles-Valentin Alkan, and Haydn.

German pianist Schaghajegh Nosrati has earned a formidable reputation for her stellar Bach performances. Her international breakthrough came in 2014 as an award winner at the International Bach Competition in Leipzig and particularly through her increasing musical collaboration with Sir András Schiff who praised the "astonishing clarity, purity, and maturity" as well as the musical comprehension associated with it when she plays Bach.
