Eleven days later she returned to New York to play at Carnegie again, this time on the stage of the Isaac Stern Auditorium at the invitation of Carnegie Hall.
She is a magnetic performer with one... more of the most prodigious piano techniques of any young pianist. She has a burgeoning American career of 60 plus performances per season. Her coast to coast tour with Vladimir Spivakov and the National Philharmonic of Russia was one of the big successes for the 2006-07.
