"Ory Shihor’s sold-out debut performance at The Wallis introduced both traditional piano recital and innovative theatrical elements to our audiences with tremendous success…Shihor operated skillfully as both world-class pianist and compelling storyteller for an enlightening evening of Schubert, allowing audiences to appreciate fully the composer’s major sonatas in their historical context.”
