Ilya Yakushev, piano
Performing Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue" and Mussorgsky’s "Pictures at an Exhibition"
“…crystalline tone, dazzling technique and sensitive musicality.” – Telegram & Gazette
Pianist Ilya Yakushev is one of those musicians whose name keeps coming up in sophisticated music circles, as in, “Have you had Ilya on the series yet?” He is a charmer, a truly gifted and nuanced performer who draws the audience in with technique, emotion, and communication. For us, he’ll be offering an incredible program – the first half celebrates the 100th anniversary of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue while the second half will be Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. But wait, there’s more! Yakushev has curated a projected photographic display to accompany both pieces, consisting of images of Gershwin’s New York and the actual Viktor Hartmann drawings that inspired Mussorgsky’s great work.
