My music, along with works by Margarita Zelenaia, will be presented on The Russian Chamber Art Society Series on December 6, 2024 at The French Embassy in Washington, DC. Works will include the American premiere of my song cycle The Imaginary Photo Album, as well as my Holocaust-themed song cycle The Seed of Dream. The performers — soprano Katerina Burton, mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wór, cellist Igor Zubkovsky and pianist Martin Labazevitch are extraordinary. Thanks go to the RCAS’ Founder and Artistic Director Vera Danchenko-Stern for her amazing vision.
