Renowned pianist Eteri Andjaparidze will present her debut recital as a new faculty member of DePaul’s School of Music at 8 p.m., Nov. 14, in the DePaul Concert Hall, 800 W. Belden Ave. The concert is free and open to the public. The program includes “Sonata in E flat Major, Op. 81a,” by Beethoven and “Fantasy in C Major, Op. 17,” by Schumann. DePaul music professors and Chicago String Quartet members Joe Genualdi, Chris Costanza and Rami Solomonow will join Andjaparidze in performing “Piano Quartet in C minor, Op. 60,” by Brahms.

Andjaparidze, who became a DePaul faculty member this fall, has gained international recognition as a versatile artist with a vast repertoire that encompasses all genres of piano playing. She is a laureate of the Tchaikovsky and Montreal music competitions and has been honored with the Republic of Georgia’s highest national distinction, the People’s Artist of Georgia title.
