Rachmaninoff Preludes and Nirvana on piano

The program features an unusual mixture of Rachmaninoff Preludes and Nirvana, all performed on the piano by four remarkable musicians - Maya Irgalina, Elena Toponogova, Mikhail Shilyaev and Sasha Grynyuk. Their music will be interspersed with fragments from Pavel's book 'Russian cut-up' and his interviews. This eclectic mix reflects Pavel's own tendency to juxtaposition what at first glance might seem incompatible.

This is our second concert series in support of Pavel Kushnir Memorial Scholarship with performances also taking place in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam and Tel Aviv. Established by artists, musicians, and creators, this scholarship aims to support students from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus in pursuing their musical studies at leading institutions worldwide. All proceeds from this concert will contribute to establishing these scholarships, and additional donations are warmly welcomed.
