DESCRIPTION:The Frost Chopin Academy & Festival is honored to present a rec
 ital by Garrick Ohlsson\, one of the most distinguished pianists of our ti
 me and a towering figure in the world of Chopin interpretation. Since winn
 ing the 1970 International Chopin Piano Competition—becoming the first A
 merican to receive this honor—Ohlsson has built a remarkable internation
 al career marked by technical mastery\, intellectual depth\, and a rare ab
 ility to reveal the full emotional and structural richness of the repertoi
 re. \n\nRenowned for his expansive command of piano literature\, Ohlsson b
 rings to this program three monumental works that illuminate the breadth o
 f his artistry. Shostakovich’s Prelude and Fugue in E minor\, op. 87\, w
 ith its stark introspection and rigorous contrapuntal design\, showcases O
 hlsson’s architectural clarity. In Brahms’s Variations and Fugue on a 
 Theme of Handel\, op. 24\, he turns to one of the great monuments of the R
 omantic repertoire—a work of symphonic imagination\, expressive variety\
 , and dazzling invention. The evening also includes Chopin’s Ballade in 
 A‑flat major\, op. 47\, a narrative masterpiece whose poetic sweep and e
 motional depth have long been central to Ohlsson’s musical identity.\n\n
 Celebrated for performances that combine power\, refinement\, and profound
  insight\, Ohlsson has appeared with the world’s leading orchestras and 
 in the most prestigious concert halls. His Chopin playing\, in particular\
 , is revered for its nobility of sound and expressive sophistication\, pla
 cing him among the defining interpreters of the modern era.\n\nThis recita
 l stands as a centerpiece of the 2026 Festival—an opportunity to experie
 nce an artist whose legacy continues to shape the way audiences and musici
 ans understand Chopin’s music. \n\nThe concert will open with performanc
 es by selected participants of the academy who will play celebrated works 
 by Chopin.\n\nProgram: \n\nD. Shostakovich – Prelude and Fugue in E mino
