Chances & Choices | Veneta Neynska | Piano concert

In this captivating Romantic program featuring Chopin's 24 Preludes, as well as

works by Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert and Dimitar Nenov, pianist Veneta

Neynska explores the profound connections between music and life when

confronted with the challenges imposed by destiny.

Frédéric Chopin's masterful 24 Preludes were directly influenced by J.S. Bach's Well-

Tempered Clavier, with each piece composed in a different key. Consequently, the

first half of the program showcases the vast array of tonal CHOICES within music.

However, music, akin to life in its temporal constraints, unpredictability, and

boundless emotional range, transcends mere choices. It delves into the core human

values of love, joy, sorrow, death, and purpose. Similar to how composers

meticulously plan their compositions, people often shape their lives with careful

intentions. Yet, the future remains uncertain, as it is often determined by the

CHANCES we encounter.

Presented by Veneta Neynska, this inspiring and thought-provoking program titled

Chances & Choices showcases her exceptional command of the keyboard,

delivering exquisite tonal nuances and building up to dramatic musical climaxes.
