The Shelest Piano Duo made their debut at New York’s sold-out Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall alongside the Brandywine Valley Symphony Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Artistic Director Michael Hall.
Marking the opening of the fourth Ukrainian Cultural Festival in New York, the evening brought together works by Ukrainian and American composers, including music by Valentin Silvestrov, Philip Glass, and Samuel Barber. A highlight of the evening was the US premiere of Ukrainian composer Oleg Bezborodko’s Concerto for Piano Four Hands and String Orchestra, performed by Anna and Dmitri Shelest in the presence of the composer himself.
An evening of exceptional music, emotional depth, and a standing ovation from the New York audience!
