Canadian pianist and Juno Award winner, Jan Lisiecki, debuts at Spivey Hall with a program entirely built of preludes. Ending with Chopin’s complete Op. 28, Lisiecki takes us first through offerings as diverse as J.S. Bach, Rachmaninoff, Szymanowski and Górecki. Lisiecki has been praised for his ability to balance technical precision with deep emotional insight. His playing reveals a rare combination of youthful energy and profound depth, bringing virtuosity, refinement, and an extraordinarily thoughtful approach to music-making.

The headline for Beatrice Rana’s 2019 Spivey Hall debut read, “Piano prodigy Beatrice Rana takes ‘Clara’ for a sumptuous ride at Spivey Hall.” She now returns firmly established as one of the supremely imaginative pianists of her generation. Winner of the Silver Medal and the Audience Award at the 14th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2013, her much-lauded 2017 CD of Bach’s Goldberg Variations garnered major awards and brought international renown. A performer as nuanced as she is powerful, Rana already has eight albums to her name and engagements with the top orchestras and great halls of the world.

“It is all too common for many young virtuosos to offer more flair than substance. But Alexander Malofeev is no ordinary prodigy…Rachmaninoff unfolded in multiple dimensions, with playing of fiery intensity and searching expression.

His pearly tone made the quiet moments shimmer, and the finale sounded with a hymn-like serenity.” (Boston Classical Review)
