A Quiet Offering: Yulianna Avdeeva in Recital

BOULEZ 12 Notations
RAVEL Pavane pour une infante défunte
DAI FUJIKURA Quiet Offering (Hong Kong Premiere)
                         Co-commissioned by Emma Akiyama and Yulianna Avdeeva
RAVEL Valses nobles et sentimentales
CHOPIN 12 Etudes, Op. 25

Gold medalist of the XVI International Chopin Piano Competition, Yulianna Avdeeva has captivated audiences worldwide with commanding, virtuosic performances, described by The Telegraph as “spontaneous and volatile”, and “full of depth and colour”. She is also a juror of the 2025 Chopin Piano Competition. She brings incisive insight and refined musicality to her performances, shaped by a distinguished artistic lineage.

Her programme is framed by a subtle play on the number 12, from Boulez’s 12 Notations to Chopin’s 12 Etudes, with Ravel’s luminous sound world in between. The centrepiece is the Hong Kong Premiere of Dai Fujikura (藤倉大)’s Quiet Offering, part of its international premiere tour.

第十六屆蕭邦國際鋼琴大賽冠軍得主亞夫迪娃，憑藉懾人心魄的舞台魅力與兼具銳利鋒芒與細膩情感的詮釋，享譽國際。英國《電訊報》盛讚其演奏「靈活而千變萬化」、「深刻且斑斕多彩」。身為當今樂壇最具影響力的鋼琴家之一，她足跡遍及世界頂級藝術殿堂，更於 2025 年受邀以評審身分重返華沙蕭邦大賽。

這次獨奏會以數字「12」為主軸，由法國前衛主義大師布萊茲的《12首記譜法》開首，繼而走進拉威爾流光浮動的世界，最終以蕭邦《12首練習曲》作結。音樂會另一亮點為日本名家藤倉大的《靜默的奉獻》。作為該作國際巡演的一站，亞夫迪娃將親自為這部由她共同委約之作獻上香港首演。
