Russian Pianist Alexander Sinchuk

Description

Russian pianist Alexander Sinchuk, called "A bright, emotional, powerful pianist... [whose] style resembles that of Sergei Rachmaninoff" by Literaturnaya Gazeta, will be the featured artist in the March concert of Steinway Society --The Bay Area's 25th Anniversary Season.

The concert will be held Saturday March 21, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. at West Valley College in Saratoga. A pre-concert talk starts at 6:45 p.m. The artist will be available to meet the audience following the concert.

Born in the town of Nakhodka, Primorsky Krai in Russia, Sinchuk won first prize at the 2008 International Rachmaninoff and 2012 International Horowitz piano competitions, and has performed all over the world giving recitals and master classes. His performance at the 2011 Tchaikovsky Competition received critical acclaim in the New York Concert Review, which noted, "he hurled himself at the Prokofiev Seventh Sonata, 'Stalingrad' as if he could see the carnage and smoking ruins in his mind's eye."

Single Tickets: $40-$60. Senior/Student Discounts Available. Student Rush $10, thirty minutes prior to performance. http://www.steinwaysociety.com or 408-300-5635
