NADIA SHPACHENKO - WOMAN AT THE NEW PIANO 
 An innovative project of new compositions brings together piano repertoire representing the diversity of today’s American classical music. With sounds and textures both new and familiar, both tumultuous and contemplative, all the pieces touch on themes of transformation, of resonances across time, and of cycles of rebirth. These four composers present a snapshot of the many facets of piano music at the beginning of a new era of pianism.
