Pianist Nicholas Hrynyk Returns to “History’s Hometown”

Nicholas Hrynyk is excited to be returning to his hometown, Auburn NY, to perform at Willard Chapel on their new Steinway Grand Piano. The recital will include works by Beethoven, Chopin, and original pieces from Nicholas’s upcoming EP, “Homecoming”.

Nicholas began studying piano at age nine and attended the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY where he received his Bachelor’s in Piano Performance in 2013. He continued his studies at Indiana University, receiving a Master’s in Piano Performance and also teaching piano as an Associate Instructor. In 2015, he moved to New York City to study at New York University in the Advanced Certificate program and to teach piano at New York University on the Adjunct Faculty.

From 2016 to 2020, Nicholas collaborated with many musicians and composers, including a recital at Carnegie Hall with Chinese singer Song Song, an album of violin and piano duos with Nadia Maudhoo, an album of piano pieces with composer Andy Kirou, and multiple performances at New York Fashion Week. Nicholas’s most recent performances include a live-streamed concert with cellist Lindsay Groves and violinist Jonathan Hwang in December 2020, as well as a performance of three original pieces at PianoFest this past summer in East Hampton, NY.

Nicholas’s upcoming EP “Homecoming,” will be his first release of original music, consisting of five piano pieces he wrote this past year.

The concert benefits the Community Preservation Committee’s care of the Willard Memorial Chapel. Admission is $10 per person at the door. The Chapel is handicap accessible through its north entrance off Seymour Street.
