Sunday Piano Concert: Ekaterina Willewald

May 7, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free

Enjoy free admission all day at the Museum of Russian Icons, courtesy of the Nypro Foundation, and enjoy a performance by pianist Ekaterina Willewald. Ekaterina will present her program “Ballet Russes” to accompany the exhibition, Giselle. Suites by Tchaikovsky, Borodin, and Prokofiev will be included. Before each piece, Ekaterina will briefly explain the historical context in which these pieces were created, including events in the composers’ lives and their countries. The audience will hear what inspired the composers, their influences, and the deep connections between music, literature, painting, and architecture of the time.

Since making her concert debut in Moscow as a featured soloist with the Moscow State Philharmonic Orchestra, playing Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, Ekaterina Willewald has been invited to play on both sides of the Atlantic. Mrs. Willewald is a founder, lecturer, and performer in the piano concert series at Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main. From 2000 to 2005 she presented many concerts featuring great Russian and European composers and their masterworks, covering an immense part of the piano repertoire.

 

This program is offered by the Museum of Russian Icons as part of the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature, Culture & History, an annual month-long celebration showcasing events and activities hosted by local partners celebrating the unique places, objects, and stories of the Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area.
