KONSTANTIN SHAMRAY – PIANO RECITAL
Harris International Piano Series | Elder Hall
Beloved by Adelaide audiences for his fearless virtuosity and intellectual depth, Konstantin Shamray returns to the Harris International Piano Series with a commanding and wide‑ranging recital at Elder Hall.
This richly contrasted programme spans three centuries of piano repertoire, opening with the architectural elegance and rhythmic vitality of J. S. Bach’s English Suite in D minor. From there, Shamray explores colour, mysticism and sonority in two Preludes by Olivier Messiaen, before plunging into the rigorous intensity of Taneyev’s Prelude and Fugue and the percussive brilliance of Bartók’s Sonata.
After interval, the focus shifts to the refinement and technical ingenuity of Debussy’s Four Études, works that transform pianistic challenges into shimmering sound worlds. The recital concludes with the explosive drama of Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 6, a landmark 20th‑century work of searing power, biting irony and relentless momentum.
This is a recital of exceptional scope and impact, showcasing Shamray’s mastery across styles—from Baroque clarity to modernist fire—and promises an unforgettable evening for lovers of great piano music.
