Episode Details

The Steinway Society of Western Pennsylvania presents the Pittsburgh debut of Aljosha Jurinic on Sunday October 19th, 3pm in the Kresge Theater at Carnegie Mellon University. It's an all Chopin recital with the Second and Third Sonatas plus nocturnes. Aljosha spoke with Jim Cunningham by Zoom from his home in Boston. He is involved in research regarding biomechanics with the hope of helping musicians avoid injuries. He explains his own physical fitness regimen and says he is careful about riding a bicycle. His formidable technique has taken him to the top at several competitions including the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, the Queen Elizabeth, Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau, and guided him to studies at the University of Franz Liszt in Weimar. The President of Croatia has awarded him the top prize of his homeland for artists and he enjoys returning to Zagreb to visit with family several times each year.
