Yeol Eum Son - Harris International Piano Series

Internationally acclaimed pianist Yeol Eum Son returns to Elder Hall with a richly imaginative recital showcasing the expressive breadth of the piano. Renowned for her crystalline touch, intellectual clarity, and poetic depth, Son presents a programme that journeys from rare gems to towering masterworks.

The evening opens with characterful and intimate works by Paderewski, de Larrocha, Landowska, Nikolayeva, Weissenberg, Gulda, and Earl Wild, revealing playful wit, elegance, and striking individuality across the 20th century. After interval, Son brings her formidable artistry to Rachmaninov’s Preludes Op. 32, a cycle of sweeping lyricism, emotional intensity, and virtuosic brilliance.

This is a compelling opportunity to hear one of today’s finest pianists in a programme that is both adventurous and deeply rewarding for the discerning listener.
