Chopin. Liszt. Youth

Denys Dragan-Maksymchuk, piano recital
 
Youth, energy and passion:  the talented virtuoso pianist Denys Dragan-Maksymchuk will perform at the Lviv Organ Hall. He will amaze you with his unique technique, skillful performance and fervent impulse. He was compared to the young Liszt after a fantastic performance at the Wiener Kaisersaal in Vienna! "With perfect mastery of his instrument, Denys took us on a journey to hell and the heavens of Dante's Divine comedy. It was simply amazing! His performance reminded me of György Cziffra himself. He was just like young Liszt at the piano.I will remember this concert for a long time..." — wrote about Denis' performance the famous Viennese critic Yumiko Hertelendi, the President of the György Cziffra Foundation in Austria.
We don't have to travel to Vienna to hear Denys play. Experience something unforgettable at the Organ Hall!
