Pianist Artur Pizarro takes audience on a musical journey
The recital at the George Town Public Library on 4 Oct., part of CayMusicA’s 2025 Cayman Piano Festival, offered more than a performance – it was a voyage.
Artur Pizarro, the internationally acclaimed Portuguese pianist and winner of the 1990 Leeds International Piano Competition, took the audience on a journey through stormy seas and tranquil shores, using music as his vessel and the piano as his compass.
The programme featured works by Frédéric Chopin, Gabriel Fauré, and Claude Debussy – composers united by their ability to build tension and delay resolution, often leading listeners down winding melodic paths.
Pizarro’s interpretation of these works was marked by a striking interplay of darkness and light. His mastery of tonal shading – more chiaroscuro than contrast – created a narrative arc that felt cinematic in scope.
