Kholodenko opens Friends of Chamber Music season with bravura, refined artistry

Some pianists dazzle audiences with displays of sheer technique. Others offer more refined musical sensibilities.  Vadym Kholodenko manages to combine both of those artistic attributes. The Ukrainian pianist, now based in Luxembourg, has been a frequent visitor to Friends of Chamber Music. Kholodenko returned on Wednesday night to open the series’ season in stellar fashion at the FIU Wertheim Performing Arts Center. Works by Schubert and Prokofiev displayed his multi-faceted interpretive persona.
