Classical Piano Concert : Priya Mayadas

Pianist
and composer Priya Mayadas has been described as an “important talent in the
world of music” (Miami Herald), whose playing has been described as “hauntingly
beautiful...revel[ing] in the musical colors and shades" (The
Statesman), and by Harris Goldsmith as “radiant, spiritual and eloquent” (NY
Concert Review), “full of breadth and impassioned fervor” (The Strad).
 Ms. Mayadas “vividly evokes the emotions" of the work (New York
Times) and her “persuasive and sympathetic playing... clearly indicates pianism
of the first rank” (the Independent). She has given solo recitals and performed
throughout the U.S. and on tour in Asia. Her concerts have been broadcast on WGBH
in Boston, WFMT in Chicago and WXXI in New York, and her own composition aired
on WQXR radio in New York City.  Born into a family of concert pianists in
India, Ms. Mayadas began playing Mozart melodies by ear at age three, performed
in public at age four, and at age nine became one of the youngest winners of a
BMI Student Composer Award for her string quartet. Ms. Mayadas founded the
Concerto Project, a charitable trust dedicating to fostering new
compositions. Ms. Mayadas will be performing: Beethoven Piano Sonata No.
30, Op. 109 and Brahms Piano Sonata No. 3, Op. 5.
