Pianist Jan Jiracek von Arnim has been described by BBC Music Magazine as “one of the leading pianists of his generation.”
Born into a family of musicians, pianist Jan Jiracek von Arnim has been described by BBC Music Magazine as “one of the leading pianists of his generation.” One of the elite class of medalists of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Jiracek von Arnim was also a top prize winner at the Busoni Competition (Italy) and Maria Canals Competition (Spain). A prolific master instructor, he gives master classes regularly in North America, Asia and Europe. According to The New York Times, “Mr. Jiracek knows when and how to let drama melt into lyricism, or to transform a solid wall of piano sound into a texture of crystalline clarity.” Mr. Jiracek is a professor at the Vienna School of Music.
To help celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th Birthday (he was born in 1770), Mr. Jiracek’s program will include works solely by the composer.
