The 13th Annual Paderewski Piano Festival of Raleigh, co-produced with Chamber Music Raleigh, presents Greek pianist Dr. Maria Stratigou in the beautiful, historic Smedes-Emory Parlor at Saint Mary’s School. A concert artist, researcher, and educator based in the United Kingdom, Stratigou studied in Athens, Glasgow, and Manchester, where she earned a PhD in performance. She is a noted advocate for the music of Louise Farrenc and became the first pianist to record and release Farrenc’s complete Études. Her work brings together performance, scholarship, teaching, and the rediscovery of neglected repertoire.
