Hey everyone ! I just bought a ticket to see Olga Kern live in NY (her lincoln center debut)!!!!!!!!!!!
The programme says ' An entirely new program of works by Chopin, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninov and Liszt '. Now lets make a guess as to what the program might be (keeping in mind that it is supposed to be a "NEW" program !)

She played here in Charlotte a couple weeks ago, she played:

Mendelssohn Variations Seriuses
Mendelssohn/Rachmaninoff Scherzo (Midsummer Night Dream)
Chopin Sonata No. 2
Rachmaninoff Morceaux de Fantasie
Liszt Reminiscences de Don Juan

It was very virtuosic, she can play anything.

I've met her. I saw her a few months after I met her and she still remembered my name.
