Conductor NEEME JÄRVI

The internationally recognised pianist Anna Shelest has been praised for her “fiery sensibility and warm touch” as well as for her excellent sense of partnership with an orchestra (New York Times). Born in Kharkiv, Anna Shelest graduated from the Juilliard School of Music in New York and currently also lives in New York. At the age of only 11, she performed in the UNESCO headquarters in Paris as the youngest prize winner at the Miłosz Magin International Piano Competition. She has given concerts in New York’s Alice Tully Hall, the Stern Auditorium in Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington and the Vienna Konzerthaus among others, and performed as a soloist with several famous orchestras. In 2011, she was the first to have a chance to perform in the freshly finished 7 World Trade Center in New York.

Anna Shelest will perform two of Rubinstein’s compositions for piano and orchestra. Rubinstein was one of the most famous pianists of the 19th century whose playing style has been compared to that of Ferenc Liszt. He was also a musical activist (with the establishment of the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1862 as his most important achievement) as well as a prolific composer. His piano concertos are thought to have  inspired compositions by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov in the same genre.

Conducted by Neeme Järvi, the principal conductor and artistic director of ENSO.
