The finale of the festival "Faces of Modern Pianism" will bring together two soloists on one stage, each presenting their version of a dialogue with the legacy of Rodion Shchedrin. Two late concertos by the composer will be performed, filled with philosophy, musical audacity, and inner tension. The Mariinsky Theatre will conclude the XX International Piano Festival "Faces of Modern Pianism" with a concert in memory of Rodion Shchedrin. On this evening, two of his late works will be performed - Piano Concertos No. 5 and No. 6. This is not only a musical finale but also a deep emotional highlight of the entire festival. Two soloists will take the stage - Sergey Davydchenko and Yan Fan. Each will perform one of the works, revealing different facets of Shchedrin's compositional individuality to the audience. The fifth concerto is known for its energy, complex rhythms, and rich orchestration. It seems to balance on the edge between experimentation and symphonic power, demanding from the pianist not only technical mastery but also a deep immersion in the essence of the musical material. The sixth concerto, also known as "Concerto lontano," sounds like a reflection on time, distance, and inner silence. Here, Shchedrin's late style is particularly felt - restrained yet emotionally rich. He works with pauses, shades, and hidden tension, creating a musical canvas where every detail matters. The Symphony Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre will partner with both soloists, complementing the sound with vibrant and complex musical textures. This evening is especially suitable for those interested in contemporary academic music, new forms of performance, and those who want to hear rare compositions performed with attention to every nuance. The concert will be a point of attraction for those who appreciate deep musical experiences and seek to hear non-obvious yet important works that have been left as a legacy by one of the greatest composers of his era.
