Eleonora Karpukhova Piano Recital

Experience an elegant evening of solo piano music with internationally acclaimed pianist Eleonora Karpukhova.

A laureate of major international piano competitions in Portugal, Chile, Italy, and Croatia, Karpukhova has performed across Europe, South America, Russia, and the United States. She is a graduate cum laude of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow, where she now serves as Associate Professor in the piano faculty.

This recital brings together three extraordinary musical worlds: the luminous colors of Maurice Ravel, the poetic imagination of Nikolai Medtner, and the deep Romantic voice of Sergei Rachmaninoff.

✨ The evening opens with Ravel’s Miroirs, a dazzling and atmospheric suite filled with shimmering textures, vivid imagery, and impressionistic beauty.

📖 The program continues with selected Fairy Tales by Medtner, offering a world of mystery, storytelling, and Russian lyricism.

🌹 After intermission, Karpukhova turns to Rachmaninoff, performing a selection of lyrical piano transcriptions followed by the powerful and expressive Six Moments Musicaux, Op. 16.

From delicate soundscapes to passionate virtuosity, this recital offers audiences a chance to hear a pianist of exceptional artistry in a program rich with color, emotion, and imagination.
