SUMMARY:Mannes Sounds Lecture: Piano Duo Anna and Dmitri Shelest present “Donna Voce: Music of Women Composers from the 19th through 21st Centuries"
DESCRIPTION:The Shelest Piano Duo presents a captivating exploration of music for piano four hands and two pianos\, featuring works by women composers spanning the past three centuries. \nAbout \nPraised for their “stirring performances of rare repertory” (Fanfare Magazine)\, the Shelest Piano Duo is a husband-and-wife team of ANNA AND DMITRI SHELEST who trace their roots to the music school in Ukraine. At their official Carnegie Hall debut in February 2018\, their CD release of Ukrainian Rhapsodybrought the renewed attention to the music of their homeland. The Duo\, who met as classmates in middle school\, began performing together after their marriage in the U.S. Their inventive programs have brought them to a broad array of venues from concert stages to state functions\, and\, in words of Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon\, “realized diplomacy through music.” \nDmitri Shelest started studying piano at the age of six in Ukraine and soon enrolled into the Kharkiv Special Music School\, succeeding at his first contest when he was 11 years old. It was also piano that brought him across to the U.S. after he was offered a full scholarship to Northern Kentucky University as a bachelor’s degree candidate in piano performance. \nWhile at NKU\, Mr. Shelest won top prizes in various international piano competitions and participated in music festivals. After graduating in 2005\, he pursued a post- baccalaureate degree in entrepreneurship. Since relocating with his family to New York\, he has been active as a chamber musician in addition to managing a record label and a piano retail showroom. \nHailed by The New York Times as a pianist of “a fiery sensibility and warm touch\,” Anna Shelest is an international award-winning musician who has thrilled audiences throughout the world. Anna\, a champion of esoteric repertoire\, is currently collaborating with the legendary conductor Neeme Järvi on a project of recording the complete works for piano and orchestra by Anton Rubinstein. \nAnna made her orchestral debut at the age of 12 years old with the Kharkiv Symphony Orchestra\, playing Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 1.” Since then\, she has been a soloist with world-class orchestras such as Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra\, Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Estonian National Symphony Orchestra among others. \nAs a soloist\, she has appeared at Alice Tully Hall and Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall in New York City\, The Kennedy Center in Washington\, DC\, Wiener Konzerthaus in Vienna and Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City. \nBorn in Ukraine\, Mrs. Shelest received her early music education at Kharkiv Special Music School. After receiving her Bachelor of Music degree at Northern Kentucky University\, she graduated from The Juilliard School with a master’s degree. \nToday\, Anna and Dmitri Shelest make their home in New York City with their two sons\, Ivan and Alexey.
