Evgeny Kissin, piano 

Symphony Hall

Room-shaking power and soul-soothing poetry come together during Evgeny Kissin’s return to Symphony Hall.  Bach's Partita No. 2 for Keyboard gives way to Chopin’s contemplative Nocturnes. Shostakovich’s intense Piano Sonata No. 2 pairs with selections from his homage to Bach, his 24 Preludes and Fugues.  

Evgeny Kissin has been a Celebrity Series audience favorite for decades, since he was a young prodigy: his artistry has only deepened over the years, and he delivers a reliably brilliant and illuminating performance every time. Don’t miss a modern master of the keyboard when Evgeny Kissin returns for his twelfth Celebrity Series recital!
