About this Event
Composer and pianist David Karapetyan will premiere his Sonata No. 1 in E-flat minor, subtitled “A New Jazz", as well as a selection of his own preludes and waltzes. The program will be complemented by new pieces that he will live-compose, in order to give the audience insight into his compositional process and to create an intimate concert atmosphere—inspired by and in reverence for the work of Johann Sebastian Bach.
David Karapetyan is a Los Angeles born, Berlin-based composer and pianist whose works are published by Universal Edition and whose music combines profound mathematical structures with Romantic expressiveness. A mathematician with a Ph.D. and a bachelor’s degree in English literature and mathematics, his passion for classical music—particularly the German classical tradition—began quite suddenly at the age of 12. Without any formal training, he taught himself to play the piano and compose shortly thereafter, developing a rigorous yet emotionally charged style.
Following the concert, there will be an after-show party with refreshments followed by a dinner, offering an opportunity for further conversation and discussion about music.
