Ever since his auspicious New York debut, pianist Gleb Ivanov has been recognized as an important presence in the music world. The New York Times wrote: Gleb Ivanov “is a cut above the usual, a young super-virtuoso, with musical sensitivity and an appreciation of style to go with the thunder and lightning.” He has been thrilling audiences in recital and orchestra engagements; this season he plays with Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra, the Auburn Symphony Orchestra, the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra, and the Monroe Symphony Orchestra, and performs recitals at University of Florida Performing Arts and on the Summer Stars Series in Ocean Grove. Mr. Ivanov appears in a special program at Bargemusic performing Prokofiev’s War Sonatas.

Dmitri Berlinsky arrived on the International scene as the youngest winner in the history of the Paganini International Violin Competition in Genoa, Italy. This victory led to his performance on Nicolo Paganini’s own Guarneri del Gesú instrument, a privilege shared by only a handful of artists in history. Subsequent triumphs at the Montreal International Violin Competition (Grand Prize), the International Tchaikovsky Competition and the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels and YCA in New York led to appearances with major orchestras in the World.

Individual tickets will be sold at the door in Grace Auditorium for $20 per performance, or subscribe to the whole 2017 concert season for $100.
