PSU Steinway Piano Series: Pianist Tom Hicks to replace Oxana Yablonskaya in May 2024 Residency

From the Press Release:

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the PSU Steinway Piano Series has reconfigured its Spring 2024 Residency. The Series will no longer be hosting Oxana Yablonskaya this May, but instead, will proceed with events by featuring the “brilliantly evocative” (International Piano) pianist Tom Hicks. The Series’ founder and director, Susan Chan writes, "We will greatly miss our experiences this spring with the legendary pianist Oxana Yablonskaya, but hope to reschedule a visit with her soon. In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming the incredibly impressive Tom Hicks to PSU for what promise to be beautiful and impactful performances and masterclasses.”

Tickets already purchased for the May 10th PSU Steinway Piano Series recital remain valid. Should anyone who has already purchased tickets to the recital wish to relinquish their ticket and receive reimbursement due to this program change, they may make this request by contacting the Box Office at 503-725-3305 or tickets@pdx.edu.

CONCERT:

Music at Night starring Tom Hicks

This program, inspired by the night, shares works for the piano that are dreamy and atmospheric, and also includes nightmares and fantasies.

Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata concludes what promises to be a popular program with finger-twisting fireworks.
