Fernando Laires Piano Series Presents: Aristo Sham | A Star Ascendant

Extoled by The New York Times as a pianist “whose playing combines clarity, elegance, and abundant technique,” Aristo Sham rocketed to prominence upon receipt of the gold medal and audience favorite award at the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. His first-ever performance at Eastman will feature works by Bach, Chopin, and Brahms (whose Second Concerto he played in the final round of the Van Cliburn). A winning combination!
