The Complete Chopin Ballades with Inon Barnatan

Celebrated pianist and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center alum Inon Barnatan performs all four of Chopin’s challenging and beloved romantic ballades in a solo recital, alongside related piano works by Field, Barber, Szymanowski, and Adès.

Considered “one of the most admired pianists of his generation” by The New York Times, Barnatan is celebrated as a soloist, curator, and collaborator. He performs regularly with leading orchestras and conductors worldwide. In the 2025–26 season, he performs with the Baltimore, Dallas, and Minnesota symphonies, gives solo recitals at Tippet Rise Art Center and Wigmore Hall, and takes part in the Complete Etudes of Philip Glass project at the Krannert Center and the University Musical Society.

Barnatan is Music Director of La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest in California, with his contract extended through 2030. This season, he continues his partnerships with cellist Alisa Weilerstein and soprano Renée Fleming in duo recitals and performances at venues across the United States.

His latest solo album, Rachmaninoff Reflections, features piano works by Rachmaninoff and Barnatan’s solo arrangement of the Symphonic Dances, to be published by Boosey & Hawkes in late 2025.

Born in 1979, Barnatan began piano at three and made his orchestral debut at eleven. He is a recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and Lincoln Center’s Martin E. Segal Award, and is an alum of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program.
