Yulianna Avdeeva

Unassuming yet highly artistic: since Johann Sebastian Bach, preludes have been one of the most popular forms for the piano. Frédéric Chopin and Dmitri Schostakowitsch continue Bach's tradition in their cycles. Yulianna Avdeeva transforms something small into something truly great.

For Yulianna Avdeeva, music is not merely a medium of entertainment. Rather, she sees it as an opportunity to establish direct access to the innermost depths of human beings: »Music describes feelings that cannot be put into words.« Yulianna Avdeeva caused a sensation at the 2010 Chopin Competition, becoming the first woman to win since the legendary Martha Argerich. Avdeeva shares her famous predecessor's joy of playing, musical temperament, virtuosity and sensitivity.
