Dalia Lazar: Free Concerts at Pequot Library Feb. 15

On Sunday, February 15th, from 4 - 5pm, Pianist Dalia Lazar will perform Waldstein and Appassionata in a free and open-to-the-public concert at Southport's Pequot Library.

Head to the Library to be comforted by this deep music, joining Dalia on her journey of incredible force, determination, tenderness and joy.

Born in Croatia, Lazar began studying piano at an early age. Immediately after her graduation from the Moscow Conservatory, Ms. Lazar decided to continue her career in New York and London, where she studied with Karl Urlich Schnabel and Maria Curcio.

As a finalist in the New York Concert Artist Guild Competition, Ms. Lazar made her New York debut at Rubenstein Hall, followed by her Carnegie Recital Hall debut later that year. Since then, she has performed a broad repertoire as a soloist in concerts and recitals worldwide, including the United States, Russia, Venezuela, Israel, Switzerland, Croatia, Mexico and Romania. Her chamber music repertoire includes the works for violin and piano duo and piano trio, which she performed extensively with her late husband, violinist Lucian Lazar. Her recent CD includes works by Schumann and Chopin.

Lazar’s playing has been well received by critics, who have characterized her performance as “such noble playing,” (Yediot Achronot, Tel Aviv),  “un sentimento profundo” (Panorama, Venezuela), “virtuosismo y impecable fraseo” (El Nacional, Venezuela), “that rare combination of charisma, personality and terrific pianistic facility” (pianist Tzimon Barto) and “...an inspiring display of musical excellence” (Daily Republic).
