Eleonora Karpukhova Chamber Concert

Join us for an evening with Eleonora as she returns to Fountainhead Gallery to perform Ravel, Medtner, & Rachmaninoff
About this Event

This program brings together music of different worlds — from the shimmering colors and elusive moods of Ravel’s Miroirs to the poetic atmosphere of Medtner’s Fairy Tales(Skazki), inspired by vivid characters such as Ivanushka the Fool and Cinderella.

Rachmaninoff’s four piano transcriptions of his songs exhibit another side of his musical language — intimate, lyrical, and deeply expressive. The program is completed by Rachmaninoff’s Musical Moments op.16 — a cycle of powerful and richly varied musical scenes.

An evening of imagination, poetry, and emotional depth through the many voices of the piano.
