Concert 4 - From Russia with Love, Out West Piano Fest

You will be immersed in the passion and intensity of Russian music, from the sweeping lyricism of Rachmaninov’s Preludes and soulful songs to the fiery brilliance of his piano sonata no.1. Scriabin’s Sonata No. 5 brings a surge of mystical energy, while Rachmaninov’s beloved ‘Vocalise’ offers pure, wordless beauty. The concert culminates in Tchaikovsky’s rousing ‘Marche Slave’, in a brilliant arrangement for all four pianists at two pianos.  This program invites you to experience the deep emotional spirit of Russian music — at once tender, dramatic, and electrifying.
