Pianist Marta Brankovich joins the PARMA Live Stage with her final live-stream performance of 2020, featuring a unique group of composers and a performance of her own composition, Wild River. The diverse program includes composers from Greece, Slovenia, and the United States, and includes a jazz performance of the piece Georgia on my Mind transcribed for solo piano. This promises to be an intimate event, with the featured composers joining online to listen to Marta’s performances. The concert will reflect on this year’s troubles and hopes in a mostly neo-classical/post-romantic sound, performed on a vintage piano from Marta’s performance studio.
BLACK SWAN OF PIANO is available from Navona Records.
Marta Brankovich
As a young pianist born in Serbia but resident in the United States for the past fifteen years, Marta Brankovich was steadfastly building an impressive resume as a concert artist when lightening struck and her career took flight. A dress, a movie, an enthusiastic crowd, suddenly she was The Black Swan of Piano, a soubriquet she revels in and one she hopes will engerize the blandly decorous image of the traditional piano recital. Meanwhile, her debut album, BLACK SWAN OF PIANO provides a tantalizing taste of what’s to come.’’
