Margarita Shevchenko (piano)

This compelling piano recital brings together three of the most distinctive voices in the piano repertoire, exploring a world of imagination, passion, and extraordinary musical expression. Ravel’s Ondine evokes a shimmering, mysterious world of water and enchantment, combining breathtaking virtuosity with exquisite delicacy and color. Three works by Scriabin reveal the composer’s richly expressive musical language, from the elegance and sensuality of the Waltz and the intimate lyricism of the Poème to the sweeping passion and dramatic intensity of the Fantasy. The program culminates in Chopin’s magnificent Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor, one of the towering masterpieces of Romantic piano literature. Its soaring melodies, profound introspection, and exhilarating finale bring the recital to a thrilling conclusion. Together, these works trace a fascinating journey through contrasting musical landscapes, celebrating the piano’s remarkable capacity for poetry, emotional depth, and virtuosity.
