A perennial Washington Performing Arts audience favorite, the supremely gifted Evgeny Kissin impresses with his precision, color, and interpretive nuance. The simultaneous grandeur and intimacy of his solo recital performances give full voice to his expressive range and impressive skill. Repertoire for his May 2025 performance at Strathmore includes selections from Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues and Piano Sonata No. 2 in B Minor, plus Bach Partita No. 2 in C Minor, and Chopin’s Nocturnes in G Minor and in E-flat Major, among others.
