Pianist Klara Min to Celebrate Album Release at Symphony Space

Internationally celebrated concert pianist and recording artist Klara Min, returns to New York's Symphony Space for a special one-night-only concert event on Tuesday, June 26 at 7:30PM at New York's Symphony Space (2537 Broadway at 95th Street, NYC 10025) in the Thalia Theater. Tickets, priced at $30 ($20 for students & seniors), are available at the Symphony Space box office, by calling (212) 864-5400, or online at www.SymphonySpace.org.

Presented by New York Concert Artists and Associates, the evening celebrates Min's latest album. Featuring works by Scriabin, Mozart and Messiaen, the new album will be released on the Steinway & Sons label in August 2018. In addition to Min's performances of selections from the new CD, she will be joined on stage by pianist, author and WWFM Radio host David Dubal to discuss her latest release.

"I could not be more thrilled to celebrate the launch of my new CD this summer," says Min. "The selections on the new recording - and to be performed in concert - are particularly special to me. I've always found Scriabin's music to be complex and multi-dimensional in its expression. Mozart's 'Fantasy' and Messiaen's 'Oiseaux Exotiques (The Bird Songs)' contains the element of musical ying and yang, light and shadow, which compliments Scriabin's music beautifully. This is a program that stirs my soul. I am very grateful to Steinway & Sons' for their support, and to David Dubal for giving me the opportunity to discuss this deeply personal music on stage at Symphony Space."
