Kirkwood’s Season 2022-23 Opening Concert features Steinway Artist, Martin Labazevitch. His extraordinary playing has been heard in concert halls and festivals throughout the world, as well as the US. Born in Poland, Mr. Labazevitch studied at the Odessa Conservatory in Ukraine, before immigrating to the US in 2000. He graduated from the Manhattan School of Music, and later obtained a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree. As a Steinway Artist, Mr. Labazevitch is the co-artistic director of the Puerto Rico International Piano Festival in San Juan, serves on the board of directors of the Rosalyn Tureck International Bach Competition in New York City and is the founder and artistic director of the Kosciuszko Foundation Chopin Piano Competition and Chopin Piano Academy in Washington DC.
The Kirkwood audience will experience the Schubert Piano Sonata in G-major and selections from Chopin. Fanfare Magazine states: “His way with Chopin is fluid and convincing. He plays with a superb control of rubato and has the most beautiful way of melting a phrase.”
Minimum 8 participants required for the trip & maximum of 22.
