Yevgny Sudbin Wants to explode your Mind In Color… With a Piano!
Music critics at the London Telegraph are calling him the world’s greatest pianist, but he is still learning how to make his music more powerful—with hallucinogenic hues.
It’s a philosophy he learned from his hero, Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, whose Sonata #5 he will perform in Santa Cruz April 5.
Sudbin’s program features a delicate balance of emotions, and a chain of music’s nobility, starting with the quiet, pure palette of Scarlatti followed by Chopin’s Ballade No. 3.
The second half of the program is made up of much darker, brooding, tragic pieces by Franz Liszt: “Funerailles” and “Harmonies du Soir.”
The program concludes with Sonata No. 5, Scriabin’s purely erotic portrayal of dying in ecstasy.

In 2011 Yevgeny gave us the inaugural concert of one the most amazing pianos in the world- the Aptos Foundation’s Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano. Now this majestic instrument is about to be tattooed, colorfully, forever in Santa Cruz music history.
Don’t miss it!
