Beatrice Rana has quickly become one of today’s most sought-after pianists. An artist who “has ferocious technique distinguished by her musical intelligence,” she has performed recent recitals at Carnegie Hall that have “had the audiences rapt” (The New York Times), demonstrating both her power and sensitivity in repertoire by Chopin, Ravel, Debussy, and Stravinsky. In Rana’s return to Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, she performs one of J. S. Bach’s French Suites, Debussy’s Pour le piano, and Beethoven’s monumental “Hammerklavier” Sonata, a famously challenging masterpiece to perform and a transcendental listening experience.
