Presented by pianist and composer Nikolay Khozyainov, this recital juxtaposes the volcanic virtuosity of Franz Liszt with the composer-performer’s own poetic works, including two world premieres. Khozyainov’s crystalline technique and intimate phrasing shape a program that moves from tempestuous sonority to reflective lyricism. The evening foregrounds the solo piano as an orchestral voice, combining daring technical feats with moments of tenderness, inviting a concentrated, emotionally charged listening experience.
