Anna Vinntskaya - Piano

Im Rahmen eines besonderen Klavierabends in der Hamburger Laeiszhalle wird am 14.11.2023 der Preis der Oscar und Vera Ritter-Stiftung an Anna Vinnitskaya verliehen. Die Stiftung fördert seit rund 50 Jahren hochbegabte Nachwuchskünstlerinnen und -künstler in ihrer musikalischen Entwicklung. Einmal im Jahr wird der Preis an Interpret*innen und Komponist*innen für besonders herausragende Leistungen verliehen. Gemeinsam mit Studierenden aus Ihrer Klasse präsentiert Anna Vinnitskaya Werke von Kurtág, Ravel, Prokofjew, Rachmaninow, Ligeti, Beethoven, Strawinsky und Schnittke zu zwei, vier und sechs Händen.

Anfang November 2023 gastiert Anna Vinnitskaya erstmalig beim Boston Symphony Orchestra unter der Leitung von Joana Mallwitz. Auf dem Programm der drei Konzerte steht das 1. Klavierkonzert von Pjotr I. Tschaikowski.

In the fall of 2023, Anna Vinnitskaya and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra will present a cycle of Rachmaninoff piano concertos. At the beginning, there will be the Fourth and Second Piano Concerto on September 14 and 15 at the Elbphilharmonie with Juraj Valčuha on the podium. Two weeks later, Joana Mallwitz will conduct number three there. This will be followed by Rachmaninoff's first piano concerto together with Mikko Franck in Peenemünde to round off the Usedom Music Festival.

On September 2, 2023, the Kammerakademie Potsdam will open its 2023/24 season with Anna Vinnitskaya as artist in residence and principal conductor Antonello Manacorda on the podium. The program will include Rachmaninoff's 1st Piano Concerto. This will be followed in October by a joint guest appearance at the Essen Philharmonie with Bach's concertos for one, two and three pianos; then, back in Potsdam in March, a chamber concert with piano quintets by Weinberg and Schumann is scheduled. 

For the crowning finale of the season, Anna Vinnitskaya will conduct both Shostakovich piano concertos as well as Bach's Piano Concerto No. 5 in F minor BWV 1056 from the piano: "In general, I think that with some works and especially with good orchestras, it can be an advantage to play without a conductor, because the musicians in the orchestra are more involved and making music together feels like one big chamber music. The roles between soloist and orchestra are then more fluid, the walls disappear, everyone forms a unit and merges into a homogeneous overall sound."

On May 18, 2023, Anna Vinnitskaya will perform a piano recital in the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie. At the invitation of the Elbphilharmonie, she is covering for Maurizio Pollini, who had to cancel his engagement.

Anna Vinnitskaya's relationship with the Elbphilharmonie has grown over several years. She has already performed there in various constellations with orchestra. Now, for the first time, she will perform a solo program in the Great Hall, presenting works by César Franck, Alexander Scriabin, Frédéric Chopin and Maurice Ravel.
