There are child prodigies and there are artists who are prodigiously talented. Pint-size 12-year-old San Diego pianist Rossina Grieco is both.
A student of Luba Ugorski, “Sina” began playing at 4 and started winning competitions and playing in public just two years later. To experience her intelligence, wit, sophistication and keyboard prowess confounds one’s senses. Surely the delight of eyes, ears and mind are delusions, reason insists. They are not.
The youngest-ever winner of the San Diego Symphony’s “Hot Shots” competition in 2003, Grieco also became the youngest artist to appear in the Symphony Pops series and on the La Jolla Music Society’s Discovery Series. She has since delighted millions on National Public Radio’s “From the Top.” In Asia, she has performed with the Shanghai Symphony, the Oriental Sinfonietta and the China Philharmonic.
The Athenaeum Music and Arts Library presents the diminutive dynamo in recital at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 4. Her generous program includes works by Domenico Scarlatti, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Sergei Rachmaninov, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, and Franz Liszt.
The Athenaeum is located at 1008 Wall. St. Tickets are $22 (members) and $27 (nonmembers). To reserve, call (858) 454-5872.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
