Multi-talented musical, literary and visual artist Lera Auerbach will perform the world premiere of her new work created especially for SF Performances. "21st Century Pictures", is a response to Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, which she will perform on the same program.
Born in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk on the border of Siberia, Russian-American composer, concert pianist, poet and visual artist Lera Auerbach has become one of today's most sought after and exciting creative voices. She has published more than 100 works for orchestra, opera and ballet, as well as choral and chamber music.
Lera Auerbach's intelligent and emotional style has connected her to audiences around the world and her work is championed by today's leading performers. She is equally prolific in literature and the visual arts (especially painting and sculpture) and incorporates these forms into her professional creative process, simultaneously expressing ideas visually, in words, and through music. She has published three books of poetry in Russian and her first English-language book, Excess of Being-in which she explores the difficult form of the aphorism-was published by Arch Street Press in 2015. Her visual art has been included in several exhibitions and, in 2013, her first solo exhibition was presented in Norway. Her paintings are often exhibited at performances of her musical work and have been reproduced in magazines, CDs and books.
Auerbach has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Hindemith Prize, the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship, the German National Radio prize and the ECHO Klassik award, among others.
