I'm an artist who doesn't tick any boxes. I don't fit neatly into a style or an expectation. I'm very multifaceted and my background, my education, my training, and now my work gives this multi-diverse approach. And I think that as my artistry has been growing and changing and I've been maturing as a pianist, I'm starting to realize that it's being yourself and being authentic is what makes you an artist.
Join us for an exciting episode, Blurred Boundaries: Classical Meets Jazz, featuring Ophelia Gordon, concert pianist, recording artist, and one of the world's leading interpreters of Nikolai Kapustin. Ophelia shares how Kapustin's genre-defying music helped her find her artistic identity, blending classical precision with jazz freedom.
It can take a long time to figure out who you are, and then when you start realizing actually you're not meant to be another person, you're not meant to be another type of musician, you know, and we will only grow as an individual if we embrace ourselves. And I think, I think it's that distinction between kind of doing what's expected and then actually playing really what connects to you and just going with that. And, and as soon as I started almost like rebelling in some way and not playing the repertoire that everyone was expecting me to play, my performing was improving because I felt This is really what I should be doing, and especially with Kapustin, because it speaks to me and it speaks to my education as well. It's made me feel very at home.
We also explore improvisation in classical music, the influence of jazz, and the making of her upcoming album, Between the Lines.
Kapustin doesn't fit into a box. Either. And I think that's— that must be what drew me to him. And I'm hoping with Kapustin that I'm able to, you know, show my journey through the album, because I'm not playing his music purely because I like it, you know. It's for a very different reason. And I think the album has come exactly at the right time in my life, and it's— it's an album about a journey.
