Olga Kern Olga Kern, the striking young Russian Gold Medal winner of the 2001 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition - whose performance of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 made her the first woman to achieve this distinction in over 30 years. She made her New York City debut in Carnegie's Zankel Hall in May, 2004 and eleven days later returned to New York to play at Carnegie again, this time on the stage of the Isaac Stern Auditorium at the invitation of Carnegie Hall. Ms. Kern is a magnetic performer with one of the most prodigious piano techniques of any young pianist. She has a burgeoning American career of 60+ performances per season. Her 2007 coast to coast tour with Vladimir Spivakov and the National Philharmonic of Russia earned rave reviews in all 36 cities. Ms. Kern records exclusively with Harmonia Mundi, and her highly anticipated Chopin Sonatas CD will be released in 2010. Artist's website: |
