is one of the most respected young pianists today, admired for her
adventurous programming and charismatic stage presence. The New York

Recital Hall, Kennedy Center, Miller Theatre, MoMA, the Whitney Museum,
and MCA Chicago, as well as Chopin, BAM’s Next Wave, Archipel,
Flanders, Divonne, and Ars Musica Festivals, with groups such as
Ensemble Contrechamps, Elliott Sharp’s Orchestra Carbon, the SWR German
Radio Orchestra, and Orchestra Sinfonica Nationale della RAI. She is
