The event has been postponed from the previous date and will now take place on Tuesday, 25 April.

Pushkin House invites you to a recital of Frédéric Chopin’s music performed by the pianist Galina Umanskaya.

Following the UK premiere of Eugene Birman's documentary opera Russia: Today at London's King's Place in February 2023, a new edition of the project is coming to Pushkin House. The evening features the film version of Russia: Today by Alexandra Karelina (2021), a world-premiere of two pieces by composer Martyn Harry performed live by EXAUDI, and a discussion with the Russia: Today creative team.

Please join us for a concert of the first twelve of Shostakovich’s monumental Preludes and fugues op. 87, performed by pianist Sofia Sacco. Combining the highest Baroque form with the colours of Russian folk songs, Shostakovich achieves an unprecedented variety of images and characters, giving life to one of the most spectacular compositions of the 20th century. Composed during a time of Stalinist artistic repression, these compositions were an expression of freedom in a world where freedom did not exist.

This concert programme performed by pianist Ida Pelliccioli explores composers that pushed the boundaries of compositional technique in order to reflect another inner, metaphysical search in their lives that could easily find an echo with the questionings of the modern listener.

This concert by Rebecca Ryland-Jones (soprano), Anna Ryland-Jones (cello) and Emelia Noack-Wilkinson (piano) seeks to draw connections drifting through different times, in music that expresses the deepest and most tender questions of faith, love, belonging and eternity.
