Concerto Competition Winner to Perform at
Hopkins
Pianist Inna Faliks will give a performance titled "Three
Masterworks by Chopin:
The Harmonic Innovator of the Romantic Age," at noon on
Wednesday, April 26, in
Shriver Hall on the Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus,
3400 N. Charles St.
in Baltimore.
This young artist, winner of the 1999-2000 Yale Gordon
Concerto Competition at
the Peabody Institute
of The Johns Hopkins University, will perform in commemoration
of the 150th anniversary of Frederic Chopin's death with a
program of Chopin favorites
including the famous "Funeral March" Sonata in b flat minor, opus
35; the Polonaise-
fantasie in A flat major, opus 61; and the Ballade No. 1 in g
minor, opus 23.
At the age of 10, Inna Faliks came to the United States from
Odessa, Ukraine,
and that same year gave her first solo recital in Rome. In
addition to the prestigious
Gordon Competition win, she has won the Illinois Young
Performers, the National
MTNA Yamaha, the Chicago and New York Chopin competitions and she
has appeared
with orchestras around the country. In May 1999, she received
her bachelor of music
degree in piano performance and is presently a student of Ann
Schein as a master's
degree candidate at the Peabody Conservatory.
This performance is part of the Wednesday Noon Series
presented by the Johns
Hopkins Office of Special Events and is co-sponsored with the
Peggy and Yale Gordon
Trust. Admission is free. For information, call the Office of
Special Events at 410-516-7157.
