Hayes Piano Series
Avery Gagliano, piano
Saturday, October 25, 2025, 2:00 p.m.
Hopkins Bloomberg Center Theater
A radiant force in the new generation of pianists, Avery Gagliano brings insight, imagination, and a bold interpretive voice to the stage. Hailing from Washington, D.C., Gagliano is a recent graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and a mentee of Sir András Schiff at the Kronberg Academy in Germany. Lauded by The Philadelphia Inquirer as “a pianist who conveys a vivid musical personality and bold imagination,” Gagliano is a familiar and beloved presence on Washington Performing Arts stages. Her program traverses Romantic fervor, American lyricism, Hungarian fire, and the introspective intensity of late-Romantic Russian works—each piece a canvas for her expressive brilliance.
The Hayes Piano Series is presented by Washington Performing Arts, in cooperation with the Peabody Institute and Hopkins Bloomberg Center.
