SF Performances presents …

This young pianist electrified the music world when he swept all prizes in the International Chopin Competition in his native Poland in 2005, the first pianist to do so. The January 2014 announcement that he had won the coveted Gilmore Award—the piano equivalent of the MacArthur “genius” grants—only validated the maturation of a great talent. Blechacz makes his San Francisco Performances debut with a program that reveals all of his poetic lyricism.

Concert Program

  • J. S. Bach: “Italian” Concerto, BWV 971
  • Ludwig van Beethoven: Sonata in C minor, Opus 13 “Pathetique”
  • Frédéric Chopin: Nocturne in E Major, Opus 62, No. 2; 3 Waltzes, Opus 64; 3 Mazurkas, Opus 56; Polonaise in F-sharp minor, Opus 44

The Shenson Piano Series is made possible by Fred M. Levin and Nancy Livingston, The Shenson Foundation
