This concert is made possible through the generous support of Laura and Stephen Lang.
The only pianist currently performing Liszt’s 24 Etudes as a single program and one of few to tout a concerto list that features over 60 works, Asiya Korepanova is a pianistic powerhouse. Asiya is recognized not only for her achievements as a pianist, but also for her work as a composer, visual artist, and poet, reflecting her uncompromising dedication to the arts. Asiya debuts with Newport Classical performing an eclectic program entitled, Transformations. This program of self-transcribed works for piano explores how music transforms and explores different meanings when performed on alternative instrumentation than originally written.
