RCAS - A Tribute to Tchaikovsky concert

Thursday, December 12, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.

A Tribute to Tchaikovsky Featuring Tenor Fanyong Du

Though best known worldwide for his ballets, orchestral works and operas, Tchaikovsky displayed his supreme gift for melody in more than 100 Russian art songs or "romances"
Exceptional young lyric tenor Fanyong Du, who earned bachelor's and master's degrees from the Odessa National Academy of Music in Ukraine, will perform a selection of Tchaikovsky's most exquisite romances with pianist and RCAS Artistic Director Vera Danchenko-Stern.

Adding to this unique and festive tribute, violinist Katya Poplyansky, recently a Rebanks Fellow at Canada's Royal Conservatory; cellist Souren Bagratuni, silver medalist in the 1986 International Tchaikovsky Competition; and pianist Alexander Shtarkman, faculty artist at Baltimore's Peabody Conservatory, will play Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A Minor, Op. 50, "à la mémoire d'un grand artiste," dedicated to Moscow Conservatory founder Nikolai Rubinstein.

Tickets are $55, which includes a post-concert reception with the artists
