Faculty Recital: Pavel Nersessian, Piano
Pianist Pavel Nersessian pairs Mendelssohn's six Songs Without Words and Rondo capriccioso with Fauré's songs without words, two valses-caprices, the second Barcarolle and two pieces from Pelléas et Mélisande, then ends on Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit. Nersessian taught at the Moscow Conservatory for more than three decades, assisting Sergei Dorensky with students including Nikolai Lugansky and Denis Matsuev, and won the Dublin International Piano Competition in 1991.
