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 29^th 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.
