Esteemed pianist and BAC’s inaugural Cage Cunningham Fellow Alexei Lubimov premieres works he commissioned from accomplished Russian composers Pavel Karmanov and Sergei Zagny.
Lubimov, one of today’s most versatile keyboard artists, plays organ in Zagny’s nod to baroque music. In Karmanov’s ethereal I Made My Home, he plays prepared piano and is joined by bass player Logan Coale and the award-winning Calidore String Quartet, who opens the concert with one of the groundbreaking Haydn opus 20 quartets.
