After the impact of his phenomenal performances of Bach’s Art of Fugue and the complete cycle of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas at HKU, Konstantin Lifschitz returns in February with fellow Russian pianist Alexei Volodin.

Appointed as HKU University Artists, the two pianists will pay tribute to five Russian composers in a series of four concerts. Listeners will hear some of the finest and most virtuosic Russian piano works, ranging from Medtner’s 12 mercurial Fairy Tales to the violence of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring.
