“A Force of Nature”

Asiya Korepanova, a pianist and composer, draws her musical inspiration from the legacy of Dmitry Shostakovich, having studied composition under his direct disciple, Albert Leman. She is the author of original works in multiple genres and instrumentations. A herald of an enormous repertoire encompassing over 60 piano concertos and solo works ranging from early Baroque period to music of living composers, Asiya is a quintessential completist. She finds unique joy in performing complete collections of works such as the 24 Liszt Etudes or the entire Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach. In 2023 Asiya  performed the complete Rachmaninoff solo piano works within the composer’s 150th-anniversary year.

Asiya is a powerhouse hailed as a “tremendously gifted pianist who exhibits a singular affinity for Rachmaninoff’s Russian romantic idiom and possesses the blazing technique to fully realize his distinctive scores” (South Florida Classical Review). She is also highly recognized as a composer, visual artist, and poet.Her emotionally charged and colorfully nuanced performances have gained her the admiration of audiences throughout the world.
