Alexander Gavrylyuk – International Classics 2023

A riveting evening of Romantic masterworks for piano.

Ukrainian born, Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk is internationally celebrated for his electrifying and poetic performances. Following enthralling performances at the Centre in 2016 and 2017, Gavrylyuk returns to Elisabeth Murdoch Hall to showcase dramatic and impassioned Romantic piano repertoire by Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms and Saint-Saëns.

His curated program of music spotlights formidable composer/performers at the forefront of technique and showmanship in the Romantic era and their determination to push musical boundaries. In this concert, Gavrylyuk will exhibit his own remarkable technique in interpretations of musical masterworks that transport audiences from Beethoven’s dark and dreamy Moonlight Sonata and the melting romance of Chopin’s Nocturne to the spectacle of Liszt’s Tarantella, Schumann’s characterful Scenes from Childhood and ruminations of Brahms’ intermezzos.
