Illia Ovcharenko, piano

Having delighted Music Toronto audiences with "one of the best recitals of 2025" (LudwigVan), Ukrainian pianist Illia Ovcharenko returns to Music Toronto with a program shaped by the spirit of fantasy. From Beethoven's Quasi una Fantasia and Schumann's visionary Fantasy in C to the evocative works of Ukrainian composer Viktor Kosenko and Liszt's electrifying Dante Sonata, Ovcharenko explores music where imagination, poetry, and virtuosity unfold in thrilling freedom.
