On 14 May 2015 Varvara Nepomnyashchaya will make her first recital appearance at the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre. The pianist has won awards at several international competitions. The most important, however, was the first prize at the XII International Geza Anda Competition in Zurich, which she won in 2012. This marked the impetuous development of her international career. Today Varvara (as she is known by foreign critics and audiences, leaving out her hard-to-pronounce surname) appears with various chamber and symphony orchestras and has performed in St Petersburg. This is her first recital, at which the pianist will perform a highly varied programme including works by Handel, Schumann, Medtner and Stravinsky.
There will be an on-line broadcast of the concert on Mariinsky Media: http://mariinsky.tv/
