<description>&lt;p&gt;I had an incredible conversation with Ophelia Gordon —concert pianist, recording artist, and one of the world’s leading interpreters of Nikolai Kapustin’s music—for Season 5, Episode 12! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ophelia’s artistry defies categorization. She seamlessly blends the rhythmic pulse of jazz with the technical depth of classical music—a rare and extraordinary balance. Her discovery of Kapustin’s music was a pivotal moment, leading her to a composer who, like her, refused to be boxed into a single genre. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;💡 How do you bridge two musical worlds that seem at odds? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;💡 What does staying authentic in a tradition-bound field really mean? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;💡 How can improvisation reshape classical performance? We explore these questions and more in this inspiring episode. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;What to Expect in This Episode: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;🎹 Kapustin’s Legacy – A classical composer with a jazz heart. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;🎵 Improvisation &amp;amp; Freedom – Redefining technique and expression. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;🎷 The Jazz-Classical Intersection – Breaking down genre barriers. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;🔎 Finding Your Artistic Identity – How Ophelia forged her own path. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;🎤 Recording &amp;amp; Interpreting Kapustin – Behind the scenes of Between the Lines. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;🔥🔥 Read the full blog post and learn more about Ophelia Gordon &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thepianopod.substack.com/p/new-episode-alert-ophelia-gordon"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For our paid subscribers on Substack, enjoy exclusive early access to this exciting episode on our Substack page on February 24 at 8:00 PM ET—one day before the official release! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://thepianopod.substack.com/subscribe"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;https://thepianopod.substack.com/subscribe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;📅 Premieres Tuesday, Feb 25, at 8:00 PM ET &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Watch on YouTube → &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/VTHMvumdAZE"&gt;https://youtu.be/VTHMvumdAZE&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Listen on your favorite podcast platform → &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/ThePianoPodAudio"&gt;https://linktr.ee/ThePianoPodAudio&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;👏👏 Don’t miss this episode—it’s a deep dive into what it means to be a musician in the 21st century!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
