Sohyun Ahn, Piano Solo & 4-Hands

Friday, August 25, 2023; 7 PM. No intermission.
Location: Island Arts Center 1127 US Rt 2, North Hero, VT
Tickets: $25.00 online or at the door.

New York City concert pianist Sohyun Ahn returns to Island Arts with a beautiful program for our community. Her well-attended concert last season elicited raves, including "outstanding", "amazing delicacy", and "world class".

The program showcases Sohyun Ahn playing solo piano works–the Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata", Six Pieces for Piano by Brahms , and the Valses nobles et sentimentales by Maurice Ravel which blend Impressionist and Modernist themes.

Local Vermont pianist Eun Hee Park will join Ahn to play the piano 4-hands Dolly Suite by French composer Gabriel Fauré. It's always a special treat to hear and watch the interaction of four hands sharing the keyboard.

Described as "an absolute master" by the New York Concert Review, and an "amazing pianist" by the Classical New Jersey Society, our Vermont audience raved last year: "Absolutely superb". "I was enthralled". "Their fingers danced on the keyboard", "Such a different experience from the big city hall where you are miles from the performer".

Ahn is not to be missed. From the liner notes for Ahn's Bach Goldberg Variations: "Her playing exhibits a crystalline clarity, insightful nuance, and dynamic breadth." From Piano Music Magazine, Korea: "Such a gifted virtuoso, wonderful performing the emotional storm … with the perfectly balanced elegance."
