Washington Performing Arts presents

Nikolai Lugansky, Piano

Praised as “one of the most outstanding artists of our epoch” (Le Monde), Nikolai Lugansky is a pianist of extraordinary depth and versatility. Regularly appearing with major orchestras across the globe, this is a special opportunity to experience Lugansky’s interpretations in the intimate Terrace Theater — the location of his Hayes Piano Series debut in the 1996 season.

    Classical Music

    $40.00 – $75.00

Program

Often celebrated for the deftness by which he approaches Rachmaninoff’s cannon, Lugansky offers an unconventionally special program rooted in the Romantic music of Mendelssohn and Wagner. Hear the rolling melodies of Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words, written during and inspired by the composer’s tour of Italy, Switzerland, and Germany; plus Wagner’s Brünnhilde and Siegfried’s love duet, Siegfried’s Rhine Journey, and Lugansky’s own transcription of Wagner’s Four Scenes from Götterdämmerung.
