SUMMARY:Asiya Korepanova
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nAsiya Korepanova "Pianistic Powerhouse..."  The only pia
 nist currently performing Liszt's 24 Etudes as a single program and one of
  few to tout a concerto list that features over 60 works\, Asiya Korepanov
 a is a pianistic powerhouse and rapidly rising star. A result of her uncom
 promising dedication to the arts\, Ms. Korepanova is recognized not only f
 or her achievements as a pianist\, but also for her work as a transcriber\
 , composer\, visual artist\, and poet.\n\n\n\n\nAsiya’s contributions to
  the solo piano literature —including her historic solo piano transcript
 ion of Richard Strauss’ “Ein Heldenleben” and that of Rachmaninof
 f 's Cello Sonata—have given her a place among today’s formidable tran
 scribers. A number of her transcriptions have been recorded through her Y
 ouTube vlog project\, 'Midnight Pieces'. Launched in September\, 2017\, A
 siya shares 53 performances of short works. Among these are well-known wo
 rks\, Russian compositions\, obscure works\, and original transcriptions.\
 n\nUninhibited in her artistic expression\, Asiya's communicative desires 
 have culminated in several projects featuring original poetry and visual a
 rt that serve as an interpretive commentary to a particular cycle of works
  for the piano. These cycles include Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes\, B
 ach’s Well-Tempered Clavier\, Tchaikovsky’s 18 Morceaux\, Op. 72 and
 \, most recently\, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an exhibition. Asiya's live pe
 rformances of these compositions have astounded audiences and organizers a
 like.   In 2017 Asiya founded ‘Festival Baltimore’\, a two-week cham
 ber music series and summer academy dedicated to the performance and study
  of complete cycles. Rapidly growing in reputation\, festival has already 
 solidified its reputation as a highly original musical series and academy.
  Furthering this effort\, Ms. Korepanova founded 'Music for Minds'\, a n
 on-profit organization that serves to promote classical performances in cl
 assrooms as well as to found and support music festivals featuring unique 
 programming.\n\nAsiya was born in Izhevsk\, Russia\, to a musical family. 
 She began to learn piano when she was 4 years old from her mother\, her fi
 rst piano teacher. She was taught to read music in orchestral clefs by her
  father\, an exemplary composer\, at the age of 6\, and started composing 
 her own music. At 9\, she made her orchestral debut\, playing Mozart's 
 Concerto No.8 with her own cadenza\, and performed her first philharmonic
  recital. Her love for new music has come effortlessly as a result of her
  early bond with composition. She was invited to premiere 3 piano concerto
 s by Vladislav Kazenin and Shamil Timerbulatov\, with the Svetlanov Sympho
 ny Orchestra\, the Saint Petersburg Capella Symphony Orchestra\, the Ural 
 Philharmonic Orchestra and the Tatarstan National Symphony Orchestra. Addi
 tionally\, she has presented the premiere performance of various works by 
 Matthew Evan Taylor\, Michael Daugherty\, Thomas Sleeper and Orlando Garci
 a.\n\nThroughout her formative years in Russia\, Ms. Korepanova received v
 arious awards for her prodigious abilities. These include the Russian Fede
 ration’s President Award for “Exceptional Achievement in the Arts”. 
 the National Award from the Republic of Udmurtia (2002)\, Germany’s Berl
 iner Salon Award (2003)\, and Russia’s Youth Triumph Award (2005)\, the 
 title of 'Honored Artist of Udmurtia' (2009)\, and earned her right as the
  Moscow Philharmonic Society's artist.\n\nIn 2012\, Asiya moved to the Uni
 ted States at the invitation of renowned pianist\, Santiago Rodriguez. Lat
 er that year\, she was awarded the Gold Medal at the Nina Wideman Internat
 ional Piano Competition – an accolade which proved invaluable in the est
 ablishment of her concertizing career in the U.S. She has since continued
  to garner national attention with performances at the Stern Auditorium at
  Carnegie Hall\, the Bargemusic Series\, the Phillips Collection\, the Dam
 e Myra Hess Memorial Series\, the International Miami Piano Festival\, and
  countless others. Ms. Korepanova has been featured on CNN\, NPR stations\
 , WFMT\, and WETA.\n\nIn addition to her busy schedule concertizing as a s
 oloist and chamber musician\, Asiya eagerly anticipates the release of her
  historic Rachmaninoff record—which includes his piano sonatas along wit
 h her transcription of his cello sonata—and the release of a DVD—which
  features her performance at Tchaikovsky’s birthplace—issued by the Ru
 ssian government.\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiszt - 24 Etudes\n\n\n\
