  • Asheville Symphony: Piano Recital with Awadagin Pratt

    Acclaimed for his “forceful, imaginative, and precisely tinted” performances (The Washington Post), Awadagin Pratt is a remarkably talented concert pianist, chamber musician, recitalist, conductor, and more. From Sesame Street and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, Awadagin’s compelling performances continue to draw critical acclaim across six continents, cementing his reputation as “one of the great and distinctive American pianists and conductors of our time” (WGBH). He is a frequent performer with many of the world’s premier orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and more.

    This solo recital is an unmissable opportunity to experience the mastery of an extraordinary pianist in an intimate setting. Uniquely crafted to showcase the piano’s rich sonorities and Pratt’s profound gifts for musical interpretation, this program features a selection of Baroque and Romantic works by Brahms, Franck, and Couperin.
