JANINA FIALKOWSKA, piano
“Indeed, lesser mortals may well weep with envy at such unfaltering authority. She has done her one time mentor, Arthur Rubinstein, proud.” — Gramophone
Janina Fialkowska came to prominence as a protégé of Arthur Rubinstein and a laureate of the First Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition. Today, she carries on that master’s legacy as one of the leading interpreters of Chopin in the world. Her all-Chopin program will bring the composer into clear focus as only Janina Fialkowska can. As The New Yorker says, “Fialkowska plays Chopin with a warmth, poetry, and detail of phrasing that is disappointingly rare today; she places her gifts at the composer’s feet.”

ALISA WEILERSTEIN, cello + INON BARNATAN, piano
“Yo-Yo Ma’s heiress apparent.” — New York magazine
“One of the most admired pianists of his generation.” — The New York Times
Two of today’s most exciting young artists are a dream team in their acclaimed recitals together. Cellist Alisa Weilerstein’s impassioned performance style, breathtaking technique, and commitment to new music helped earn her a MacArthur “genius” award at age 29. She has met her musical match in Inon Barnatan, a poet of the keyboard whose sincerity and expressiveness rival his astonishing technical abilities. When these two artists come together, says the Denver Post, “they bring urgency, intensity, and edginess … there is no playing it safe.”
