  • Fall 2015 KONSTANTIN SOUKHOVETSKI RETURNS TO
    Fall 2015 KONSTANTIN SOUKHOVETSKI RETURNS TO STAR AT THE MUSICAL FEAST! Were you there in the fall of October 2002 when a black-cloaked figure strode out onto the stage at First Presbyterian Church --- whirled around, revealing a bright red lining --- tossed the cloak onto the stage --- then sat down at the keyboard and dazzled the HHSO audience with a brilliant rendition of Franz Liszt’s devilishly difficult Totentanz? If you were, you probably already have your tickets to the HHIPC’s benefit A Musical Feast, which we are happy to say is now sold out. Russian born, Konstantin came to the United States in the late 90s to attend The Juilliard School. While at Juilliard, his teacher Jerome Lowenthal suggested he apply to Pianofest in the Hamptons, a boutique summer festival for 12 top-tier pianists. He was accepted, loved the non-competitive atmosphere and being with other young musicians. Thus, he returned there the next six summers. The house in which they live has a Steinway grand in every room including the kitchen! The pianists practice, cook, play games, and hit the beach together, forming close personal friendships. In 2011, he was asked to be the artist-in-residence at Pianofest where he came up with the innovative idea of filming the first-ever reality show about classical music. This show – “The Real Pianists of the Hamptons” -- just completed its third season and is intended to show how classical music can be hip. Take a look at the show on YouTube or Facebook. We’re sure Konstantin will tell you more about it during the question and answer session.

The University's department of music earlier this year acquired a Bösendorfer grand piano with a gift from the estate of Madonna Wine Goss, who died in 2006. The scheduled performances — entitled "The Piano: Celebrating an Instrument" — honor the legacy of the instrument itself, as well as that of the donor. Madonna and husband Ted Goss — a 1955 University of Dayton graduate who died in 2001 — were long-time friends of the University. Her love for music dates back to her high school years, when she began playing as a church organist. She also taught music and choir in Kettering schools for 21 years.
