The Romantic Piano — Konstantin Shamray

Internationally renowned concert pianist Konstantin Shamray is coming to the Orange Civic Theatre on Thursday, March 23, with his show, The Romantic Piano.

Since bursting onto the music scene by winning the Judges’ and Peoples Choice prizes at the Sydney International Piano Competition in 2008, Shamray has continued to amaze audiences around the world.

Described as an exhilarating performer with faultless technique and fearless command of the piano, Konstantin has performed under the baton of distinguished conductors including Vladimir Spivakov, Dmitry Liss, Tugan Sokhiev, Nicholas Milton and Alexandr Vedernikov.

For Orange, Konstantin has prepared a programme spanning 250 years from the brilliance of French Baroque composer Rameau to the fiery virtuosity of Liszt culminating with the grand ‘La Valse’ by Ravel.

The major work in the second half will be Prokofiev’s ground-breaking Sonata No.8 - the final one he ever wrote and one of the most dazzling pieces written for the piano.

The Romantic Piano will be performed at the Orange Civic Theatre on Thursday, March 23 at 8pm. Tickets can be purchased via Ticketek or call 6393 8111.
