Chopin Society of Atlanta presents Piano Recital by Sergei Babayan – a Culture interest event taking place on 2018-02-11 18:00:00 in United States
Hailed for his emotional intensity, bold energy and remarkable levels of color, Sergei Babayan brings a deep understanding and insight to a stylistically diverse repertoire, which includes a performance history of 54 concertos. Le Figaro has praised his "unequaled touch, perfectly harmonious phrasing and breathtaking virtuosity." Mr. Babayan is a frequent guest at music festivals in Europe and the U.S. In July 2013, he was invited by Martha Argerich to her festival Progetto Martha Argerich in Lugano, Switzerland. The two artists performed a newly created cycle of transcriptions for two pianos by Babayan from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. The concert was broadcast live, and Ms. Argerich invited Mr. Babayan to perform the transcription with her again at the Klavier-Festival in Ruhr, Germany. Babayan has collaborated with such conductors as Yuri Temirkanov, Neeme Jarvi, Hans Graf, David Robertson, Tugan Sokhiev, and Kazimierz Kord, among others. Since 2006, Babayan has performed with Valery Gergiev numerous times to great critical acclaim, including appearances at the International Festival Stars of the White Nights, the Moscow Easter Festival, the Barbican with Mr. Gergiev conducting the London Symphony Orchestra, in St. Petersburgs Mariinsky Theatre, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Théâtre des Champs-Elyseés in Paris, at the Salzburg Festival, and at the Rotterdam Philharmonic-Gergiev Festival where Babayan was artist-in-residence. Mr. Babayan performs with the world's foremost orchestras, including the London Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre, Warsaw Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Nationale de Lille, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and the New World Symphony.
