Presenting world-renowned pianists of exceptional talent in solo performances, The Chopin Project® concert series has expanded from its Florida roots into Asheville for the 2019-20 Season. The series has earned acclaim for its ability to showcase the scope and breadth of Fryderyk Chopin's works - as well as his musical forebears, contemporaries and successors - to provide audiences with insightful and engaging performances.
Israel native Renana Gutman has been praised by The New York Times for her "passionate and insightful" playing, including performances across four continents as an orchestral soloist, recitalist and collaborative artist. She has performed at such notable venues as The Louvre Museum, Grenoble Museum, Carnegie Recital Hall and St. Petersburg's Philharmonia in Russia, to name a few. She is a founding member of the award-winning piano trio "Terzetto," with violinist Diana Cohen and cellist Tanya Ell. The trio performed regularly in festivals and concerts across North America from 2007-2011.
As a pedagogue, Renana joined the piano faculty of Boston's Longy School of Music of Bard College in the fall of 2019. She had previously been on the piano faculty of the Yehudi Menuhin Music School in the UK, and of Bard Pre-College and the 92nd Street Y in New York City. She also plays an active role in the NY Chapter of Music for Food, a musician-led initiative for local hunger relief. She is also featured playing Chopin's Etudes, Opus 25 on Chopin Project's most recent CD, titled "Rarities and Favorites, Vol. 4."
