Kirill Gerstein brings his signature style to a varied program that includes the U.S. premiere of Matthew Aucoin’s The Tracks Have Vanished, commissioned with support from his Gilmore Award. The GrammyⓇ-nominated pianist blends the traditions of Russian, American, and Central European schooling combined with a strong background in jazz. To his broad repertoire, both new and old, he brings an unwavering clarity of expression, discerning intelligence, virtuosity, and energy.
