Valentina Lisitsa
The Olivier Music Barn, 6:30 PM
Pre-concert talk: 5:00 PM, Tiara Acoustic Shell
Description
Ukrainian-American pianist Valentina Lisitsa is one of the great exemplars of Russian virtuosity and innovative individualism. A critic for The Washington Post Online wrote, “I was impressed, sometimes dazzled and sometimes even taken aback by the ferocity of her fortissimos. And she is also a delicate, sensitive, fluid player who can ripple gently over the keys with the unctuous smoothness of oil.” During her Tippet Rise debut, Lisitsa will showcase works by Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Ravel and Mussorgsky.
