  Rafal Luc received a very positive review in 'The Times' newspaper for his Royal Festival Hall, Purcell Room, recital in the Park Lane Group contemporary music series on January 6th. His performance of Gubaidulina's 'De Profundis' Ligeti', ‘Musica Ricercata', Giles Swayne' Squeezy' and Hans Abrahamsen’s 'Air' was described as: "It was Rafal Luc's deep engagement with the expressive potential of his instrument that distinguished his recital. He showed maturity beyond his 21 years”.Ksenija Siderova will be a finalist in the prestigious 'Royal Academy of Music Wigmore Award' on February 5th at the Wigmore Hall, London, at 1pm. Other finalists are basoon and piano, violin and piano; oboe and piano; soprano and piano and solo piano. It is the third time an RAM accordionist has been in the final of this competition in consecutive years, Milos Milivojevic and Borut Zagoranski also reached the final. The success of young accordionists in competitions involving instruments other than the accordion is tremendously positive and integrates the accordion into the classical music world. It is also worth noting that the standard of adjudication is highly qualified and professional. The adjudicator on this occasion was the distinguished pianist and teacher, Gordon Back. He will be joined in the final by the celebrated conductor Jan Pascal Tortelier. For further information email: murray@mail.dk |
