Piano music lovers waited for about a year and a half for Sofya Gulyak to return in Manila. They finally had their wish when the acclaimed Russian pianist had a triumphant performance during the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra’s final concert of their 29th season. This time around, people don’t need to wait that much longer as the 2009 Leeds International Piano Competition winner is back in the country once again as she mounts a solo piano concert featuring an all Russian repertoire this May 8, 2012, 7:30 PM at the Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater) at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.

Sofya Gulyak conducts a masterclass

Sofya prepared a programme consisting of formidable pieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin, Dmitri Shostakovich and Sergei Prokofiev. I always find it very interesting whenever a musician performs works from his/her native country and Sofya’s concert will do just that. One thing that Sofya didn’t do during her past visits here was to conduct a masterclass. But she was able to conduct one at the University of Sto. Tomas Conservatory of Music which impressed piano majors who were fortunate to be part of this activity.
