Noe Music Presents: Janice Carissa, piano

Experience the San Francisco recital debut of one of today’s most exciting young pianists, Janice Carissa, at Noe Valley Ministry. A 2022 Gilmore Young Artist and winner of the Salon de Virtuosi, Carissa has been praised for performances that “convey a vivid story rather than a mere showpiece,” bringing a rare combination of technical brilliance, color, and musical imagination to the stage.

Her carefully crafted program moves from the luminous elegance of Bach’s French Suite No. 5 to the hypnotic textures of Philip Glass, the thunderous energy of Frederic Rzewski’s Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues, and the monumental intensity of Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 8. The program also features a work written especially for Carissa by her friend and colleague Eunike Tanzil.

It’s a recital that embraces tradition while pushing boldly beyond it—and a chance to hear a remarkable young artist at the beginning of what promises to be an extraordinary career. 🎹✨ Through Groupmuse Nights Out, you can experience this San Francisco recital debut with discounted tickets, making it an especially great opportunity to hear Carissa in the intimate setting of Noe Valley Ministry.

Noe Music welcomes children able to quietly sit still through the concert to attend.
