Filip Pogády, a Slovakian – Austrian violinist, has been praised by the press for the beauty of his tone and his “lightning-like virtuosity”. As a firm believer that music should be available to everyone, Pogády joined Yehudi Menuhin’s “Live Music NOW!” Foundation, which is dedicated to bringing music to orphanages, nursing homes, prisons, and hospitals. Pogády has played over 30 recitals for “Live Music NOW!”.
Pogády earned his Master’s Degree in Violin Performance under the tutelage of Maestro Pinchas Zukerman at the Manhattan School of Music, where he was awarded a full scholarship. Born in Bratislava (Slovakia), Pogády moved with his family to Austria as a child and began his violin studies at age 7. Just one year later he was admitted to the Bruckner Conservatory Pre-college in Linz. He gave his first recital at age 10. He now resides in Los Angeles, CA.
Vassily Primakov started learning music with his mother and then from the age of eleven attended Moscow’s Central Special Music School. He continued at the Juilliard School from 17 when he came to New York to pursue his studies with the pianist Jerome Lowenthal. He is the winner of various prestigious piano competitions from the William Putsches Piano Recital Award, the Gina Bachauer International Artist Piano Competition, and the Young Concert Artist (YCA) International Auditions among others. In 2012 he was awarded a prestigious Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant.
Primakov is recording prolifically and by now has released over 30 albums. His recording won him wide recognition and following of music fans. The Classical Recording Foundation had named him “Young Artist of the Year” in 2007. Later in 2009, his album of Chopin Mazurkas was selected by the National Public Radio as ‘Best of the Year”. The success in recording led Primakov to found with his duo partner Natalia Lavrova, a new recording company, L.P. Classics Inc. in 2011.
