The dynamic, award-winning concert pianist Asiya Korepanova has been immersed in music since she was 4 years old. Since moving to the states from Russia in 2012, she's played at Carnegie Hall, the Phillips Collection, the International Miami Piano Festival, and countless others.
She's the only pianist currently performing Franz Liszt's 24 Etudes as a single program, and one of the few to tout a concerto that features over 60 works. If you have no idea what this means, it will suffice to say that she is a total badass in the realms of piano and classical music. But she's more than just an interpreter or performer of past tradition. She recognizes that many of us have been put off from classical music by virtue of history, elitism, culture, and stereotypes.
An accomplished composer in her own right, as well as a talented visual artist and poet, she weaves together these threads to reimagine and reinvigorate traditions. Her performances are an invitation to every listener into beauty, wonder, and magic, regardless of your background.
In her video series Midnight Pieces, she shares 53 beautifully produced and recorded performances of short works. She also founded Music for Minds, a non-profit designed to introduce young people to the depth and energy of classical music.
All in all, she is a soulful, thoughtful, virtuosic player who believes deeply in the power of art to save lives. I trust that this light and power will come through to you when you hear the person behind the piano.
