Fractured Time: Pianist Vitaly Starikov

Vitaly Starikov, the 2025 Van Cliburn Silver Medalist, takes the stage for Fractured Time, a riveting solo recital of Chopin’s Études, Op. 25 and Debussy’s 12 Études. These works fracture, bend, and suspend time itself—Chopin’s surging Romanticism colliding with Debussy’s shimmering modernism—revealing music as both mirror and escape, where emotion refuses to sit still.
