Prokofiev’s Big Moves

with Frederic Chiu

Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (1891–1953) was widely considered one of the greatest composers of the twentieth century. His oeuvre proves that he was the master of many different forms of composition, including symphonies, concerti, operas, film scores, and ballets.

Frederic Chiu’s intriguing piano playing and teaching springs from a diverse set of experiences and interests: his Asian/American/European background, his musical training, and an early and ongoing exploration of artificial intelligence and human psychology.

A regular recital partner of violinist Joshua Bell, he has performed concerts in major venues across the globe.

Music explored in this performance will include Prokofiev’s mighty 7th Piano Sonata, The Stalingrad.
