Cellist Boris Andrianov, a Professor in the Moscow State Conservatory, is one of the most gifted Russian musicians of his generation. Since 2007 he has been an Artistic director of the new State Project “Star Generation,” for which he received the Government of Russia Award in 2009. In October 2010 Andrianov performed the Elgar Concerto in Tokyo’s Santory Hall with Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bernhard Klee. “The
audience was absolutely captivated by Elgar in which Andrianov showed extremely high level solo both technically and musically.” (Concerts Reviews, Japan, 2010) See: borisandrianov.com

In June 2005, Russian born Alex Kobrin was awarded the prestigious Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Gold Medal at the Twelfth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Immediately following this announcement, Kobrin began his fi rst tour to the United States including recitals at Bass Hall for the Cliburn Series and for the Washington Performing Arts Society followed by further debuts. Kobrin has been a faculty member on the International
Keyboard Festival in Mannes School of Music in NYC since 2005. In 2010, he was appointed the L. Rexford Whiddon Distinguished Chair in Piano at the Schwob School of Music at Columbus State University. See: akobrin.com
