Due to medical reasons, Murray Perahia has had to withdraw from this recital. Alexandre Kantorow—recent gold medal and Grand Prix winner of the International Tchaikovsky Competition—will perform in his place.

Feel the excitement of pianist Alexandre Kantorow—“a fire-breathing virtuoso with a poetic charm and innate stylistic mastery” (Gramophone)—performing a bravura recital. Winner of the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition gold medal and Grand Prix, all facets of his mastery are displayed in showpieces of Liszt and Stravinsky, a rhapsodic Fauré work, and the majestic five-movement sonata by Brahms. Daniil Trifonov is the only other pianist who has won the Grand Prix—come see Kantorow write the next chapter in Carnegie Hall’s great keyboard legacy.
