Gunel Mirzayeva has made a career of weaving together the culturally similar styles of Azerbaijani piano music and Western Baroque, leading to some memorably modern interpretations of Bach's music.

She'll be playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Mozart's Sonata in A and Rondo Alla Turca, Bach's Goldberg Variations Aria, Debussy's Clair de Lune and Arabesque and Chopin's Ballade No.1.
