Olga Kern by Chris Lee
“Sheer talent does not come more transparently” (Gramophone). Olga Kern has enjoyed an extraordinarily wide-ranging career since her Carnegie Hall debut in 2004—a history-making recital for the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition winner. She brings an unyielding passion to every artistic endeavor, from intimate solo recitals and partnerships with stars like Renée Fleming and Kathleen Battle, to performances with leading orchestras, the founding of the esteemed Olga Kern International Piano Competition, and more. Tonight, hear her take on a program of varied concert staples and overlooked gems by Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Gershwin, Rachmaninoff, and Scriabin, plus a new original composition.
