Vyacheslav Gryaznov, known for his creative, enthralling piano transcriptions will be the featured performer in December for Steinway Society — The Bay Area’s new Home Concert Hall virtual series. This series of new video recordings are not available anywhere else on the internet. They are exclusive to Steinway Society. Tickets: $20 per household.
The concert will be available during a four-day performance window. During that period, patrons will be able to view the recording as many times as they’d like. The artist will give a short talk before the performance about his chosen pieces, while sharing information about his musical life and how he is faring during the pandemic. A recorded pre-concert lecture by Bay Area classical music expert Dr. Gary Lemco will also be available for viewers to download.
Gryaznov: Back for An Encore Performance. December 18-21, 2020
Vyacheslav (called Slava by his friends) thrilled the audience in his West Coast debut with the Steinway Society in 2016, receiving three encores. He has performed to great acclaim throughout the U.S., Russia, Japan, and Europe, including Carnegie Hall and the Berlin Philharmonie. Slava studied at the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory for his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees and earned the Yale School of Music’s Artist Diploma in 2018. In 2014, he signed with Schott Music, GmbH & Co., where his transcriptions rank among the publisher’s top ten best-selling piano editions.
Slava’s performance, featuring his transcriptions of works by Bach, Beethoven, Mahler and Debussy, will be available from December 18-21, 2020.
