As part of the esteemed Steinway Series, she will perform a selection of Frédéric Chopin’s most beloved compositions, showcasing her deep, intuitive connection to the composer’s works.
ALEKSANDRA ŚWIGUT: A VISIONARY INTERPRETER OF CHOPIN
Aleksandra Świgut has established herself as a commanding force in the world of classical piano. Her education at the prestigious Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw laid the foundation for a career marked by accolades, including her outstanding performance at the 17th International Edvard Grieg Competition in Bergen in 2022. There, she secured second prize, alongside multiple special distinctions such as the Orchestra Prize, Audience Prize, and the Steinway Prizewinner Concert Prize. Her ability to blend historical performance practices with contemporary virtuosity sets her apart, making her one of the most compelling interpreters of Chopin’s oeuvre.
A MASTERFULLY CURATED PROGRAM
This concert program has been carefully curated to highlight Chopin’s unparalleled genius. The evening will commence with the “Barcarolle in F-sharp Major, Op. 60,” a piece inspired by the gentle undulations of Venetian gondolas, offering a mesmerizing interplay of melody and harmony. Following this, “Ballade No. 2 in F Major, Op. 38” takes the audience on a journey of stark contrasts, shifting from lyrical serenity to stormy turbulence. The first half of the recital will culminate in “Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 35,” renowned for its iconic “Marche funèbre,” a movement so deeply embedded in cultural consciousness that it evokes a universal sense of solemnity and reflection.
After a brief intermission, the performance resumes with “Ballade No. 3 in A-flat Major, Op. 47,” a piece that exudes optimism and warmth, interwoven with moments of exhilarating virtuosity. The “Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 39” follows, challenging the performer with its rapid, almost frantic energy, only to resolve into moments of lyrical beauty. The evening concludes with “Andante spianato and Grande Polonaise Brillante, Op. 22,” a work that juxtaposes a flowing, dreamlike introduction with an exuberant polonaise, embodying the spirit of Chopin’s Polish heritage.
