Following the success of his Naples debut in 2025-26, piano luminary Daniil Trifonov returns with a virtuosic recital that pairs Baroque and Romantic masterworks with Latin American and Caribbean influences along with his own music. Trifonov draws together Handel’s elegance, Schubert’s sweeping imagination, Stravinsky’s sharp-edged clarity and a vivid array of dance-inflected works by García, Villa-Lobos and others. The program is unmistakably Trifonov: formidable technique, restless musical curiosity and deep emotional range.
Tickets start at $29.
