Pianists, educators, and co-directors of the concert series, Oxana Mikhailoff and Vassily Primakov have known each other for nearly 30 years. Sharing warm memories about their alma-mater Moscow State Conservatory and their teacher Vera Gornostaeva, they started professional collaboration in New York upon their arrival here in the 1990s. The musicians continue enriching their careers by playing for the audiences in Bronxville and Sparkill, NY and touring together around the country.

It is a particular treat for the music lovers to hear them play in four hands as each pianist brings certain individuality and unique musical texture which perfectly complements the style of the other. Indeed, the harmony rules!

The program will include music by Liszt, Saint-Saens, Mendelssohn, Czerny and will also feature the next generation of pianists who are Mikhailoff’s and Primakov’s students.

Indulge your cravings for piano music on Saturday, December 4th, 2021 as the concert will be a delicious treat for the music fans. Join the musicians in the charming setting of the Bronxville Women’s Club and share the joy of music!
