About the performer: "Adventurous and passionate" (The New Yorker) Ukrainian-born American pianist Inna Faliks has made a name for herself through her commanding performances of standard piano repertoire, as well genre-bending interdisciplinary projects, and inquisitive work with contemporary composers. After her acclaimed teenage debuts at the Gilmore Festival and with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, she has appeared on many of the world's great stages in recital and with many major orchestras, performing with conductors Leonard Slatkin, Keith Lockhart, and many others. Her recent seasons include performances at Ravinia Festival in Chicago, National Gallery in Washington DC, Chigiana Academy in Italy, as soloist with US orchestras nation-wide, and repeated tours of all the major venues in China.
Ms. Faliks collaborates with and premieres music by some of today's most significant composers, including Billy Childs, Richard Danielpour, Timo Andres, and Clarice Assad. She founded the award-winning poetry-music series Music/Words in 2008, with dozens of performances in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, both on stage and on WFMT radio. She regularly tours her monologue-recital "Polonaise-Fantasie, the Story of a Pianist", which tells the story of her immigration to the United States from Odessa with music by Bach, Chopin, Gershwin, and Carter (recorded on Delos).
