Performer
Yeol Eum Son, Piano

Yeol Eum Son is best known for her astonishing virtuosity, but—as made evident by this eye-opening debut recital—her gifts as a programmer and interpreter must not be overlooked. Enjoy a riveting program of works by pianist-composers, starting with selections by Paderewski, Carnegie Hall’s first solo-piano superstar. The concert culminates with Rachmaninoff’s dazzling 13 Preludes, Op. 32. Between these staples, Son showcases her impressive range across a fascinating series of Carnegie Hall premieres, including numerous pieces by storied pianists whose original works are ripe for re-investigation.
