Performance Santa Fe presents
Hélène Grimaud, piano
Description
Known for her poetic expression and peerless technical control, French pianist Hélène Grimaud is one of the most sought-after artists performing with leading orchestras, in chamber music, and in solo recitals internationally and is an exclusive Deutsche Grammophon recording artist. A multi-faceted Renaissance woman with a deep dedication to her musical career, Hélène also nurtures passionate environmental, literary, and artistic interests. Grimaud’s program draws from her album, Memory, which explores music’s ability to bring the past back to life. Selections of evanescent miniatures by Chopin, Debussy, Satie, Schumann, and Valentin Silvestrov, in the pianist’s own words, “conjure atmospheres of fragile reflection, a mirage of what was – or what could have been.”
