British pianist Mishka Rushdie Momen, a rising star known for her refined and expressive playing, will make her Portland debut in recitals presented by Portland Piano International (PPI).

Lauded as “one of the most thoughtful and sensitive of British pianists” (The Times) whose performances are “full of vim and vigour throughout” (BBC Music Magazine), Rushdie Momen has performed on major recital stages throughout North America and Europe — including Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Lucerne Festival, Leeds International Piano Series, and the Oxford Piano Festival. With a focus on works spanning the Renaissance to today, her programs often juxtapose repertoire from Gibbons and Rameau with audience favorites by Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann, and newly commissioned works from Nico Muhly, Vijay Iyer, and Héloïse Werner.
