"There's such a sense of joy, even ecstasy as she plays.
"
- NY1’s Stephanie Simon
"Listening to and watching Karine Poghosyan play fills one with life and energy. The combination of
her formidable skill and her unchecked passion is an experience I recommend for anyone who needs to
be reminded of the artist and art within themselves.
”
- Oscar-winning screenwriter Alex Dinelaris
Following her critically-acclaimed, sold-out Khachaturian recital last year, pianist Kariné
Poghosyan returns to Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall for a triumphant celebration of Mozart’s
270th birthday and his beloved city of Vienna. This unique program, titled Vienna: Mozart270, will
include Mozart’s own Sonata in F Major and Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No.5, transcribed by
Liszt and originally premiered in Vienna. Two shorter masterworks by the native Viennese Franz
Schubert will follow - the beloved lied Ständchen, also transcribed by Liszt, and the G-flat Major
Impromptu. The grand finale of the program is Franz Liszt’s Réminiscences de “Don Juan” de
Mozart, his most virtuosic and profoundly creative tribute to Mozart and his opera Don Giovanni, and
a work which Busoni labeled “the highest point of pianism.
”
Described as ‘extraordinary’ and ‘larger than life,
’ the award-winning Armenian pianist has been
praised for her “ability to get to the heart of the works she performs.
” Her recent accomplishments
include recitals at Musikverein and Ehbar Saal in Vienna, Casa Armena in Milan, Chicago Cultural
Center, the Sheldon in Saint Louis, the Soraya Performing Arts Center in Northridge, California, and
several sold- out recitals at Carnegie Hall, including a release concert of her "Rachmaninoff and
Stravinsky" CD. Her performances exemplify the difference between listening to music and
experiencing music, ultimately bringing a fresh new appeal to classical music that transcends
generations.
The recital is presented by the Permanent Mission of Republic of Armenia to the UN.
