Van Cliburn Gold Medalist Vadym Kholodenko, praised for his “precipitous muscularity and high spirits” (New York Classical Review), graces to Washington Performing Arts with electrifying artistry and a program of epic scope at Sixth & I. The evening opens with Beethoven’s monumental “Hammerklavier” Sonata, followed by the dark lyricism of Ukrainian composer Borys Lyatoshinsky’s Three Preludes, Op. 38. Kholodenko concludes with a virtuosic flourish: Liszt’s original Six Paganini Études, a breathtaking showcase of pianistic brilliance that has long been a hallmark of Kholodenko’s playing.

Sixth & I

"A passionate musician, whose touches have a certain muscularity and conscious work with weight, he plays with great colour, soulfulness, poetry and verve." (New York Classical Review) The repertoire of the Prague recital is also soulful: Liszt, Beethoven and Borys Lyatoshynskyi – a key figure in Ukrainian music.
