Alexander Korsantia, the piano world’s “quiet maverick” (Daily Telegraph), makes his long-awaited PPI debut with a program contrasting the graceful pianism of Classical Vienna with the ravishing bravura of one of Stravinsky’s most groundbreaking ballets — presented for our audiences in the pianist’s own breathtakingly virtuosic transcription.

A work of great tenderness, Schubert’s Sonata in G Major enchants the listener with serene melodies and moments of effortless, ethereal beauty. And Stravinsky’s Petrushka — with its bustling Shrovetide Fair, replete with acrobats, dancing bears, and magical puppets brought to life — celebrates the collective power of music and dance and the inherent tragedy of love unrequited.

Beethoven’s early Sonata in E-flat Major finds the composer already pushing against the boundaries of Classical style — especially in its alluring slow movement, filled with breathtaking silences in which time stands still. And hear The Rite of Spring with fresh ears in Korsantia’s riveting new transcription, in which the solo piano thrillingly renders Stravinsky’s menagerie of orchestral colors.

Rarely in one concert will you experience a string quartet with piano, a saxophone quartet, a Renaissance band, and a poetic monodrama!
