Simon Trpčeski

A favorite in concert halls around the globe, Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski is the consummate performer, infusing his performances with equal measures of glittering technique and thoughtful introspection. From the intimate world of Mendelssohn’s Songs without Words to the kaleidoscopic bombast of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Simon Trpčeski’s Meany Center program is set to dazzle and delight.

Electrifying virtuosity, but no whiff of show-off. The most delicate feelings, yet nothing precious or lacy. Head plus heart, lots of heart.
— London Times
