Info:
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 recital debut with a program that reveals all of his poetic lyricism and includes:
BACH: "Italian" Concerto, BWV 971 BEETHOVEN: Sonata in C minor, Opus 13 "Pathetique" CHOPIN: Nocturne in E Major, Opus 62, No. 2 3 Waltzes, Opus 64 3 Mazurkas, Opus 56 Polonaise in F-sharp minor, Opus 44
Born in 1985, Blechacz began his piano lessons at the age of five continuing his piano education in the Artur Rubinstein State School of Music in Bydgoszcz. In May 2007, he graduated from the Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music in Bydgoszcz, the piano class of Professor Katarzyna Popowa-Zydro. In July 2010, he received the prestigious Premio Internazionale Accademia Musicale Chigiana (Italy), awarded annually by an international jury of music critics to young musicians for their outstanding artistic achievements.
