Performers

Yulianna Avdeeva, Piano

Pianist Yulianna Avdeeva—winner of the prestigious quadrennial International Chopin Piano Competition—makes her anticipated New York recital debut in Zankel Hall. She demonstrates considerable musical range in a distinctive program that includes one of Chopin’s final works, Bach’s Second Partita, a dynamic Rachmaninoff piano sonata, and two 20th-century works that are rarely recorded and well worth seeking out in concert performance.
