RACHMANINOFF PIANO COMPETITION GOLD MEDALIST WINNERS IN CONCERT
(Los Angeles, CA) � The Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition & Festival is proud to present two brilliant international piano virtuosos � Gold Medalist winners Evgeni Mikhailov from Russia and Wen Yu Shen from China � in a concert at 3:00 PM on Sunday, January 22, 2006, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 300 East Green Street, Pasadena, California. Proceeds will benefit the 2007 Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition and future competitions.
Evgeni Mikhailov, winner of the 2002 Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition held in Pasadena, California, has much to boast about; however, he prefers that his performance speak for itself. Born in Izhevsk, Russia, Mikhailov hails from a family of musicians and his talent reflects the discipline of such a lineage. He has performed in Berlin with the Deutsche Symphonie Orchester under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy, and with the Russian National Orchestra under Mikhail Pletnev. In addition, his appearances include music festivals in Jonkoping and Bergen, and tours in Austria, Italy, Sweden, and South America. Mikhailov has also enjoyed solo recitals in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and many other Russian cities. For those who wish to hear his brilliance at their disposal, Mikhailov has recorded two compact discs with Melodya, and has received favorable reviews from the Frankfurter Allegeneine Zeitung (Germany) and the Observer (Sweden).
Wen Yu Shen, winner of the second Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition held June 2005 in Los Angeles, California, gave his first piano recital at the age of nine and a year later began playing concerts regularly in Europe, Brazil and Asia. As winner of numerous international music competitions, he has had the opportunity to perform with more than twenty orchestras, including the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Belgium National Orchestra, Dutch Radio Symphony Orchestra, Brazilian Orchestra and others. Mr. Shen has studied with Professors Jianping Liu, Daxin Zheng, Gunther Hauer, and Fany Solter. He is currently working with Professor Karl-Heinz Kaemmerling at the University of Music and Theater in Hannover, Germany.
The presentation of these two virtuosos promises an extraordinary afternoon of superb music that classical aficionados do not want to miss. Tickets are available at Pasadena Civic Auditorium Box Office: (626) 449-7360 Mon- Sat 10 AM � 5 PM; or Ticketmaster: (213) 365-3500 or (714) 740-7878; www.ticketmaster.com. Tickets: $15 - $75, children & senior discounts, group rates available. Presented by the Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition & Festival, under the auspices of Master Classes International, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles. Preparations are underway for the third Rachmaninoff International Piano Competition scheduled to be held in 2007.
