Internationally Acclaimed Pianist Daniil TRifonov

01.31.20

Soka Performing Arts Center presents Grammy Award-winning pianist Daniil Trifonov in a solo piano recital on Sunday, February 9 at 3 p.m. The program includes BACH/BRAHMS: Chaconne; BACH/RACHMANINOV: Prelude, Gavotte, and Gigue; BACH/LISZT: Fantasia & Fugue in G minor; BACH: The Art of Fugue.

Trifonov, the winner of Musical America’s 2019 Artist of the Year award, has made a spectacular ascent of the classical music world as a solo artist, champion of the concerto repertoire, chamber and vocal collaborator, and composer. Combining a consummate technique with rare sensitivity and depth, his performances are a perpetual source of awe. Trifonov recently added a first Grammy Award to his already considerable string of honors, winning Best Instrumental Solo Album of 2018 with Transcendental, a Liszt collection that marked his third title as an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist. As The Times of London notes, he is “without question the most astounding pianist of our age.”

PROGRAM:

BACH/BRAHMS Chaconne
BACH/RACHMANINOV Prelude, Gavotte, and Gigue
BACH/LISZT Fantasia & Fugue in G minor
BACH The Art of Fugue

Kevin Kwan Special Appearance at Irvine Barclay THeatre

01.30.20

Internationally acclaimed author Kevin Kwan will be at Irvine Barclay Theatre on Thursday, Feb. 6 at 8 p.m. Best known for his breakout debut novel, Crazy Rich Asians, which became something of a cultural phenomenon, topping best-seller lists worldwide, spawning two best-selling sequels and inspiring a #1 movie.

Called “a dizzily shopaholic comedy...wickedly delectable” by The New York Times, Crazy Rich Asians, loosely based on Kwan’s own experiences growing up in Singapore, made cinematic history as the first romantic comedy from a major Hollywood studio to feature an Asian lead actor and actress and the first Hollywood studio film in 26 years to feature an all-Asian cast.

With humor and fascinating insight, Kwan discusses creativity, the cultural impact of his novels, and how diversity in many industries must continue to expand.

Tickets start at $48 here.

Please contact the Box Office directly at 949.854.4646 or tickets@thebarclay.org

Irvine Barclay Theatre is at 4242 Campus Drive in Irvine.
