American pianist Rachel Breen’s performances have been described as “truly show-stopping” (Gramophone UK) and having “a beautiful piano sound and original detail.” She has enjoyed an active and successful competition career and has performed and taught masterclasses around the world. In this concert Breen will perform Beethoven’s Bagatelles, Opus 126; a “Suite of Miniatures” she designed (based on pieces by Prokofiev, Kurtág, Fauré, Scriabin, Boulez, Chopin, Berio, Medtner, and Rachmaninoff); and Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Opus 109.
