Julia Zilberquit is a Russian-born American pianist who has earned critical acclaim as a recitalist, chamber musician and recording artist. She's been praised by The New York Times as "an outstanding soloist", and her recordings have been called “a superb performance” by The Washington Post as well as "a gorgeous rendition" by the prestigious Gramophone Magazine.
In this exciting masterclass, Julia will help you learn how to play her favourite four pieces from Tchaikovsky's cycle of "The Seasons":
- March: Song of the Lark (G minor)
- April: Snowdrop (B-flat major)
- June: Barcarolle (G minor)
- October: Autumn Song (D minor)
"The Seasons" takes a very special place in piano repertoire and in addition to pure technique, Julia helps you put the piece into historical context and get a deep understanding that will inform your performance of the pieces.
