UCLA Music with Prof. Inna Faliks

Sponsored by the UCLA Emeriti Association and the UCLA Retirees Association

Inna Faliks, Professor and Head of the Piano Department in The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music. Professor Faliks will perform a piano concert on the Faculty Club’s Steinway B piano, located in the Morrison room. Professor Faliks, author of a new musical memoir titled “Weight in the Fingertips: A Musical Odyssey from Soviet Ukraine to the World Stage,” will also read from her new book, which details her exploration of Bach’s brilliant music as she grew up in Odessa and became a child prodigy, with the piano her best friend, and her steady rise as a world-renowned concert pianist. She provides insights into the role of music in a world of conflict and change. Professor Faliks will then participate in a Conversation and will be available to sign her memoir, copies of which will be on sale.
