Beatrice Rana, piano

Stunning young Italian pianist Beatrice Rana has been a force on the music scene since winning the prestigious Montreal International Musical Competition and a Silver Medal and the Audience Award at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, all by the age of 20. Since then, she has electrified audiences at the world’s most celebrated concert halls and festivals, among them Wigmore Hall, the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and Carnegie Hall, where this season she will play recitals as part of their Virtuoso series. The program includes Debussy’s fiendishly difficult Études and Stravinsky’s groundbreaking Petrushka.

“Rana’s playing has a kind of Orphic seductiveness, a transcendent lightness of touch. A supremely intelligent reading.” – The Times of London
