Ksenija Sidorova Lights Up Lincoln Center, NY - USAby Frank Busso, Jr., Director of Ernest Deffner, Inc., USA Distributor for Pigini |
On Saturday, August 5, 2017, Ksenija Sidorova made her “Mostly Mozart” debut at Lincoln Center’s Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse. The Mostly Mozart Festival is a weeks-long classical music festival that takes place in New York City every summer. Ms. Sidorova’s performance was branded as the first accordion soloist recital in the history of the 51-year-old festival. Her program featured the following selections: · Scherzo-Toccata (Londonov) · Variations on “Ah vous dirai-je, maman,” K. 265 (Mozart) · Autumnal Sceneries (Kusyakov) · Barcarolle, Op. 10, No. 3 (Rachmaninoff) · Revelation (Voitenko) · Tanti Anni Prima (Piazzolla) · Sentido Unico (Piazzolla) · S.V.P. (Piazzolla) Most of the arrangements were by Ksenija Sidorova. The audience in the sold-out venue was charmed by Ms. Sidorova’s artistry, technical capabilities, showmanship, and congeniality. She masterfully explained the capabilities of the accordion as a classical music solo instrument to a crowd filled predominantly by classical music enthusiasts with minimal accordion experience. Some of her upcoming festival performances include the Jurmala Festival in Latvia, the Rheingau Musikfestival in Germany, the Baltic Sea Festival in Sweden, and the MITO Festival in Italy. Ksenija Sidorova will return to New York City in 2018 for a concert series at famed Carnegie Hall. |
