A masterful pairing of Grammy-winning musicians!
Renowned pianist and virtuoso Evgeny Kissin joins superstar American soprano Renée Fleming to headline an unforgettable evening of music in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. The duo unite to showcase the emotionally powerful, lyrical, and technically awe-inspiring works of Rachmaninoff, Schubert, and Liszt.
“So compelling is Kissin’s pianism, so fresh his response to even the most familiar phrases, that one hangs on every note.” – The Times (UK)
“[Fleming’s] voice rolls through the surging chromaticism of Rachmaninoff’s songs, sustaining their rapturous lines with a combination of abandon and delicate poise.” – The Guardian
