Faculty Recital by Dr. Sanghie Lee, "Virtuosity Reimagined: Beyond Chopin"
February 26 (Thursday)
7:30 PM — 8:30 PMLearn More and RSVPLocation: [DAH] Shott Perf. HallVirtuosity Reimagined: Beyond Chopin explores how the meaning of pianistic brilliance has evolved from the Romantic era to the present day. At the heart of the program stands Frédéric Chopin, who transformed virtuosity from technical display into poetic expression. Surrounding his music are works by Liszt, Rachmaninoff, and Kapustin—composers who each, in their own language, expanded Chopin’s legacy. Liszt’s storm-like transcendence, Rachmaninoff’s symphonic intensity, and Kapustin’s jazz-infused invention all trace the continuing dialogue between mastery and imagination. Together, these pieces celebrate the piano as both a vehicle of dazzling skill and a voice of limitless emotional and stylistic range.
