  "Perhaps the most 'complete' pianist of his age," enthused BBC Music Magazine. Not yet 30, keyboard firebrand Jan Lisiecki has already had an astonishing career. He presents an insightful program of preludes by assorted composers. "While Chopin reinvented the Prelude format, others embraced and stamped it with their individuality," said Lisiecki. This recital showcases the broad possibilities of the humble prelude.

Jan Lisiecki's interpretations and technique speak to a maturity beyond his age. At 28, the Canadian looks back on a career encompassing a decade and a half on the world's greatest stages, on which he performs over a hundred concerts a year.

Lisiecki works closely with the most eminent conductors and orchestras of our time. This season sees his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic, as well as a recital in Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium. He will also perform at Vienna Musikverein's Goldener Saal with Bamberg Symphony and Manfred Honeck, and will play complete cycle of all five Prokofiev concertos over the next two seasons.

In June, he concluded a season as Artist in Residence, both at Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie and Cologne Philharmonie. His last recital program, with which he concluded the Elbphilharmonie residency, was celebrated in over 50 cities around the globe, including at Konzerthaus Vienna's Main Hall, Chicago Symphony Hall, La Scala in Milan, Seoul Arts Center, and in Sao Paulo.

ALL PRELUDES PROGRAM:
Preludes by BACH, RACHMANINOFF, GORECKI, SZYMANOWSKI, MESSIAEN, and CHOPIN, including the complete Preludes Op. 28
