WA Concerts with Hidden Masterpieces featuring VIP
Charles Neidich
and friends
New York City
This concert will feature the American Premiere of Alexander
Lokshin's Quintet for Clarinet and Strings. You know Brahms, you know Mozart,
but have you heard of Lokshin? Shostakovich called him a genius - one of the
great composers, but he was ostracized by the Soviet musical establishment and
his music is still virtually unknown. His quintet is a true masterpiece of great
originality.
The program will include also 2 works for piano and clarinet, the first,
Mieczyslaw Weinberg's profound sonata written at the close of the 2nd world war
and Vassili Lobanov's moving sonata written just before the demise of the Soviet
Union

VIP Alexander Fitelstein Recital at Buffet New York Showroom
Alexander Fiterstein
is recognized as one of today’s most exceptional clarinetists. He has been
praised by the New York Times for possessing a “beautiful liquid clarity,” and
the Washington Post wrote, “Fiterstein treats his instrument as his own personal
voice, dazzling in its spectrum of colors, agility, and range. Every sound he
makes is finely measured without inhibiting expressiveness.” A recipient of the
prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, he performs with orchestras and chamber
groups throughout the world. He appeared as a soloist with the Saint Paul
Chamber Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, China
National Symphony Orchestra, Czech Chamber Orchestra, Danish National Radio

festivals.
A keen advocate of new music, he has premiered several new works of chamber
music and commissioned numerous Concerti from leading Hungarian composers
like Kovács, Durkó, Fekete, Szentpàli, Vajda and is continually searching
for opportunities to introduce new music to the Hungarian public including
