Zlata Chochieva

Zlata Chochieva is a pianist scheduled to appear as soloist with the Sarasota Orchestra in January 2027, performing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major on a program that also includes Britten's Four Sea Interludes and Dvořák's Symphony No. 7. Beyond these listed engagements, no further biographical details are confirmed here.

In Sarasota, Chochieva plays Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, a work known for its songlike slow movement built on a single melancholy theme that returns almost unchanged, and for a finale full of quick, light exchanges between piano and orchestra. Listeners can expect the soloist to shape Mozart's phrases with clarity, since the piano writing here favors transparency over display, with many passages scored thinly enough that every note is exposed. The rest of the program surrounds her contribution with orchestral color and drama, opening with Britten's Four Sea Interludes, atmospheric orchestral portraits of the sea, and closing with Dvořák's Symphony No. 7, a symphony marked by a restless, dark-hued first movement and a turbulent close. Based on this pairing, a listener attending for the concerto should expect an evening balancing Mozart's poise against more turbulent surrounding works.
