“A Kaleidoscope of Favorites” Bach-Hess Jesu Joy of Man’s Desire Tchaikovsky-Pletnev excerpts from The Nutcracker Suite Rachmaninoff Two preludes, Op. 23 Chopin Heroic Polonaise Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition with Asiya Korepanova, piano Biography The pianist who performed the complete Rachmaninoff solo piano works within the composer’s 150th-anniversary year in 2023 , Asiya Korepanova is a pianistic powerhouse hailed as a “tremendously gifted pianist who exhibits a singular affinity for Rachmaninoff’s Russian romantic idiom and possesses the blazing technique to fully realize his distinctive scores” (South Florida Classical Review), who is also highly recognized as a composer, visual artist, and poet. A herald of an enormous repertoire encompassing over 60 piano concertos and solo works ranging from early Baroque period to music of living composers, Asiya is a quintessential completist. She finds unique joy in performing collections of works such as the 24 Liszt Etudes or the entire Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach. Her emotionally charged and colorfully nuanced performances have gained her the admiration of audiences and resulted in many repeat engagements. Asiya, a pianist and composer, draws her musical inspiration from the legacy of Dmitry Shostakovich, having studied composition under his direct disciple, Albert Leman. She is the author of original works in multiple genres and instrumentations. Her historic solo piano transcriptions of Richard Strauss’ ‘Ein Heldenleben’ , Rachmaninoff’s Cello Sonata , Tchaikovsky’s ‘Manfred’ Symphony, Mussorgsky’s ‘Songs and Dances of Death’ have placed her among today’s formidable transcribers, and attracted attention of world-renown pianists such as Lang Lang and Polina Osetinskaya, who commissioned and recorded Asiya’s transcriptions. The most recent composition events include the world premiere recording of Asiya’s concerto for alto saxophone and piano, Poéme , performed by Thomas Giles and Liana Pailodze Harron; the publication of her transcription of Rachmaninoff’s cello sonata ; the premiere of her Piano Quintet ‘I marvel at the sky’, commissioned by the Third Dimension Music Festival; and the premiere of Con Brio for two pianos, performed with her duo partner Ilya Kazantsev as a part of the Dranoff Two Piano Foundation series. An avid chamber musician, Asiya collaborates with a wide array of musicians, such as David Shifrin, the Balourdet Quartet, the Hermitage Piano Trio, Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, Rodne
