Evgeny Kissin

May 19, 2024

Overview

Audience Favorite

An Evgeny Kissin recital is unfailingly an event, showcasing the Russian pianist’s “formidable blend of technical prowess and exploratory fervor” (San Francisco Chronicle). This season in Orchestra Hall, Kissin surveys the lyrical charm and invention of Beethoven’s Op. 90 Sonata, two deeply expressive works by Chopin and Prokofiev’s emotionally complex Sonata No. 2.
