SUMMARY:Alexandra Dovgan at Artis-Naples
DESCRIPTION:Alexandra Dovgan brings a captivating program to Daniels Pavilion that bridges Romantic lyricism with modern virtuosity. She opens with Chopin’s shimmering Barcarolle in F-sharp Major\, followed by the stormy depths of his Piano Sonata No. 3 in B minor. Franck’s richly crafted Prelude\, Chorale and Fugue follows\, and the evening concludes with Prokofiev’s intense Piano Sonata No. 2 in D Minor — a powerful exploration of the expressive range of the piano. \nThis presentation is part of the Grand Piano Series. \nProgram: \nFryderik Chopin: Barcarolle in F-sharp major\, Op. 60 \nFryderik Chopin: Sonata No. 3 in b minor Op. 58 \nIntermission \nCesar Franck: Prelude\, Chorale and Fugue \nSergei Prokofiev: Sonata No. 2 in d minor Op. 14\n1. Allegro ma non troppo\n2. Scherzo: Allegro marcato\n3. Andante\n4. Vivace \nAbout the artist:\nAlexandra Dovgan was born in 2007 into a family of musicians and began her piano studies at the age of four and a half. At five\, her talent emerged when she passed the highly competitive selection process to join the Academic Central Music School of the Moscow State Conservatory\, where she studied under renowned teacher Mira Marchenko. She is currently continuing her education at the Ateneo de Música in Malaga. Alexandra’s musical development has been greatly influenced by her creative communication with one of the most outstanding pianists of our time\, Grigory Sokolov. \nAlexandra is a prize-winner in five international competitions\, including the Moscow International Vladimir Krainev Piano Competition\, the International Young Pianists Competition “Astana Piano Passion\,” and the International Television Contest for Young Musicians “The Nutcracker.” She was only ten when she won the Grand Prix at the II° International “Grand Piano Competition” in Moscow. Recordings of this event have travelled the world on Medici.TV and YouTube\, moving musicians and piano lovers globally. \nDespite her young age\, Alexandra has already performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls\, including the Philharmonie and Konzerthaus in Berlin\, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris\, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam\, the Konzerthaus in Vienna\, the Tonhalle in Zurich\, Victoria Hall in Geneva\, Konserthuset in Stockholm\, Palau de la Música in Barcelona\, and Gulbenkian in Lisbon\, receiving standing ovations and enthusiastic reviews. In August 2024\, she made her debut at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. \nSince her acclaimed recital at the Salzburg Festival\, Alexandra has impressed critics and the public alike with a remarkable series of international debuts. She performed with Gustavo Dudamel and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra\, debuted in Japan with the Kioi Sinfonietta and Trevor Pinnock\, with Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and Paavo Järvi\, with Stockholm Philharmonic and Ton Koopman\, with Barcelona Symphony and Kazushi Ono\, and recently with the Bergen Philharmonic and Pietari Inkinen. \nHighlights of the 2024-25 season include her debut in London with the London Philharmonic under Edward Gardner\, performances at Alte Oper in Frankfurt\, Stuttgart Liederhalle\, Essen Philharmonie\, and Milan Conservatory\, as well as her return to the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo under Kazuki Yamada. Additionally\, she will undertake European tours with the Basel and Stuttgart Chamber Orchestras and make her debut with the Orquesta Nacional de España and the Detroit Symphony. \nThe distinguishing characteristics of Alexandra’s pianism are her spontaneous depth and consciousness\, along with a sound of incredible beauty and precision. You will not find any element of showboating or mere technical demonstration in her playing; rather\, there is an impressive concentration combined with purity of expression and creative imagination. She possesses a charismatic presence on stage and a distinct personality. \nIn June 2024\, Alexandra Dovgan received the prestigious Prix Serdang from Rudolf Buchbinder and Adrian Flury in recognition of her achievements and her already significant career. \n
