WESTON-The Sundays On The Hill Concert Series welcomes Liana Paniyeva, who will perform a one-hour concert in the Old Parish Church (144 Main St.), on Sunday, August 10, at 4 p.m.
Paniyeva has been hailed as a pianist with "tender regard for the music, a captivating inwardness" and "a sense of free spontaneity" by Fanfare magazine.
She has been a prizewinner in numerous international competitions and has been featured in various broadcasts and recordings. In reviewing her recording, Huntley Dent of Fanfare wrote that Paniyeva's version of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition "outshines many others in the catalog, including those by famous names."
Paniyeva is a graduate of the Donetsk Music Academy in Ukraine. She earned her professional studies diploma from the Manhattan School of Music and an artist diploma from The Hartt School of the University of Hartford. She is a founder and artistic director of the Young Stars International Piano Competition. Promotional materials state that in 2022, Paniyeva was granted the Extraordinary Abilities in the Arts permanent U.S. residence, given only to artists who attain the highest level in their field.
Admission is $10 for adults. The doors open around 3:30 p.m., and admission is paid at the door. Visit SundaysOnTheHill.org for more information and updates. To learn more about the artist, visit lianapaniyeva.com.
