Award-winning pianist Maxim Lando performs at Baruch PAC on February 9
Colorful program includes Robert Schumann's Carnaval, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, and music by Sondheim
On Friday, February 9, the award-winning American pianist Maxim Lando performs at the intimate Engelman Recital Hall at Baruch Performing Arts Center. His program includes Robert Schumann's Carnaval, Modest Mussorgsky’s evocative Pictures at an Exhibition, and the pianist’s own arrangement of Stephen Sondheim’s The Worst Pies in London from "Sweeney Todd." Schumann's Carnaval is a timely choice, as it depicts pre-Lenten festivities within a few days of Mardi Gras 2024. Tickets are $35, available here.
Lando has been praised for his “brilliance and infectious exuberance” (The New York Times) and called a “dazzling fire-eater” by ARTS San Francisco. He is recipient of the prestigious Gilmore Young Artist Award, earned First Prize at the Young Concert Artists International Auditions and is winner of the New York Franz Liszt International Competition and The Vendome Prize.
Maxim made his Alice Tully Hall debut performing with the Juilliard Orchestra in 2021 and appeared with the Orchestra of St. Luke's at Carnegie Hall as First Prize Winner in the 2022 New York Franz Liszt International Piano Competition. Recent awards include "Best Chamber Music Album of the Year" at the 2023 International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) for his album “Into Madness” with German violinist Tassilo Probst.
Baruch Performing Arts Center is at 55 Lexington Avenue (enter on 25th Street between Third and Lexington Avenues, on the south side of the street) in the heart of Manhattan. Praised for its superb acoustics, the Rosalyn and Irwin Engelman Recital Hall has been called "a perfect hall for chamber music" by Anthony Tommasini of The New York Times.
Tickets are now on sale for all Spring 2024 performances. Details below, and tickets are available at bpac.baruch.cuny.edu.
