OLGA KERN, pianist

“Call it star quality—music likes Kern the way the camera liked    Garbo.” Her electricity at the keyboard is palpable, and though she generates it from the music itself, as it flows through her fingers, it takes on fresh voltage that is unmistakably hers.”- The Washington Post.   Russian pianist, Olga Kern, is now recognized as one of her generation’s great pianists. With her vivid stage presence, passionately confident musicianship, and extraordinary technique, this magnetic virtuoso performer continues to captivate fans and critics alike.  Olga Kern was born into a family of musicians with direct links to Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff.
