Sunday Piano Series: Anna Tsybuleva

Anna Tsybuleva    Piano
Chopin                  Nocturnes (selection)
Ravel                     Gaspard de La Nuit

Described as one of the finest pianists of her generation, the 2015 Leeds Piano Competition winner Anna Tsybuleva returns with a dream-like recital of melodic exploration. Chopin’s 21 Nocturnes are generally considered among the finest short solo works for the piano and hold an important place in contemporary concert repertoire. Anna’s selection from the Op. 9, Op. 27 and Op. 48 pieces bear witness to the song-like melodies, and the dreamy, languid character of the form. Ravel aimed to write the most technically difficult work in the repertoire and succeeded with the fantasy of Gaspard de la Nuit. A showpiece in three parts, we hear the water nymph, Ondine, the morbid spectre of the gallows and finally the devilish evil spirit, Scarbo.

Our Sunday Piano Series performances are informal and introduced from the stage, and you can chat with the pianists in the bar after the concert and still have time to get back home for Sunday Lunch!
