The eminent Pianist Stephen Kovacevich will perform today at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), Mumbai.The performance will be followed by Master Classes for Piano student in Mumbai on 19th and 20th July.

Kovacevidh, who did his first concert at the age of  11, was in London for his entire student life and  has earned fame for Brahms, Mozart and Schubert, apart from Beethoven. As a soloist and conductor, he is probably best known for his interpretations of the core classical repertoire, including Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms and Bartók. His international reputation has been built both on his concert appearances, renowned for their thoughtfulness and re-creative intensity, and on the highly acclaimed recordings he has made throughout his career.

"It's indeed a privilege for the NCPA to present, for the second time, the great pianist, Stephen Kovacevich whose playing of Beethoven's works is almost peerless. He is one of the best pianists in the world, particularly in the basic classical repertoire. His technical command allied to his great musical sensitivity makes any performance of Stephen's a memorable experience. His recordings of the Beethoven concerti and sonatas have attained iconic status." said NCPA chairman Khushroo Suntook, as reported in radioandmusic.com.
