Virtuoso Pianist Rossina Grieco Live in Concert
Éclats d'Âme
“There are child prodigies and there are artists who are prodigiously talented. Rossina Grieco is both.”
— The San Diego News
Éclats d’Âme—“Fragments of the Soul”—captures the essence of human emotion through the timeless works of Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt. Beethoven’s Appassionata unleashes turbulent passion and drama, while Chopin’s First Ballade offers delicate introspection and lyrical beauty. Liszt’s B Minor Sonata blends virtuosic brilliance with profound depth, expressing a sweeping narrative of struggle and transcendence. Together, these masterpieces reveal the spectrum of the soul’s journey, from anguished conflict to fleeting moments of grace. In this program, each note becomes a voice, each phrase a whisper of the heart’s most intimate desires and longings, broken yet beautifully whole.
