Review in The Telegraph covering a benefit concert for Udayan held at St. John’s Church in Kolkata. The event featured a range of performers, including choir, instrumentalists, and student musicians, culminating in a solo piano performance by Jennifer Heemstra.
Heemstra’s performance included works by Brahms (Intermezzi, Op. 118), Amy Beach (Hermit Thrush pieces, Op. 92), Piazzolla (“Adios Nonino”), and Liszt/Verdi (“Rigoletto Fantasie”). The review highlights her technical command, tonal control, and ability to convey narrative and color, describing the performance as holding the audience spellbound and concluding the program with a powerful finale.
