Pianist Sofiya Uryvayeva in a unique lecture–recital. As both a brilliant pianist and musicologist, Sofiya offers a captivating blend of performance and storytelling.
“When we listen to dance music, it stirs our hearts and ignites a rhythm in our veins. This concert will feature dances of love, joy, and dreams, showcasing the power of music to move us. Dance is often called ‘the vertical expression of a horizontal desire,’ and this program proves it.”
