Yulianna Avdeeva live in Urrugne

Experience Yulianna Avdeeva live on August 31st

Yulianna Avdeeva is a Russian classical pianist recognized for her deeply insightful and poetic interpretations, particularly of Romantic and 20th-century repertoire. She gained international acclaim after winning the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 2010, and is frequently praised for her technical precision combined with emotional sensitivity. Her performances often highlight a nuanced understanding of musical structure and a compelling stage presence.

The concert will take place at Église Saint-Vincent D’Urrugne, a historic church located in the Basque commune of Urrugne, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwestern France. Originally constructed in the 12th century, the church exhibits Romanesque architectural features, though it underwent significant renovations and expansions during the 16th and 19th centuries. Notably, the church possesses a notable collection of Basque funerary slabs dating back to the medieval period, representing a significant regional heritage. The acoustics within Église Saint-Vincent D’Urrugne are considered favorable for chamber music and solo instrumental performances due to its stone construction and interior volume. The building serves as both a place of worship and a cultural venue within the community.
