When the kids were setting up for their concert last Friday, they told me there was a guy who came & played on the piano & rehearsed with a woman who was awesome…I asked around a little, and found out it was the sister of the Spring Street International School’s music teacher – and she has a show tonight. Here’s more from Grisha:
Maya Krivchenia, a young soprano from St. Petersburg Russia, will present a recital of Russian Art Song at the First Presbyterian Church in Friday Harbor. The concert takes place on Tuesday, March 31st at 7pm.
Maya, who grew up in Ohio, studied at Ohio State University and the Eastman School of Music. She went to Russia as a Fullbright Scholar to study Russian Opera and vocal chamber music. She now makes her home in St. Petersburg, where she sings at the famed Marinsky Theatre.
The program includes songs by Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, and Rachmaninoff, all performed in the original Russian. Maya will collaborate with her brother, Grisha, a composer-pianist and the music teacher at Spring Street International School. Grisha will also present Khachaturian’s Toccata and an original work for solo piano.
There is no admission charge. Guests are welcome to make a donation to a fund that will provide for the continued maintenance of a new piano at the Presbyterian Church.
