Croatian pianist Ivo Pogorelic will present Chopin’s “Ballade No. 2 in F Major, Op. 38,” “Scherzo No. 3 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 39,” Schumann’s “Carnival Scenes From Vienna, Op. 26,” Mozart’s “Fantasia in C Minor, K. 475” and Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat Minor, Op. 36.”

    Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, Pogorelic graduated from the Moscow Conservatory. In 1976 he began studying intensively with the Georgian pianist and teacher Aliza Kezeradze, who passed on to him the tradition of the Liszt-Siloti School. They were married from 1980 until her death in 1996 from liver cancer.

    Pogorelic’s performances have often been controversial. His interpretations were well received by a large number of concert audiences, but not by some critics. His early recording of Prokofiev’s “Sixth Sonata” received high praise, including a Rosette award in the Penguin Guide to Classical Recordings.
