Park ICM 1900 Series Featuring Behzod Abduraimov, Piano
Wednesday, October 30, 2019, 7:30 p.m., 1900 Building, Mission Woods, Kansas
Fresh from his Carnegie Hall performance with the Munich Philharmonic on October 25, Behzod Abduraimov will preview his December 10th Carnegie Hall solo recital for Kansas City audiences in the intimate 1900 Building. In this solo recital, three master composers tell compelling musical stories. Chopin's Op. 28 Preludes are concise masterpieces that convey a tremendous range of emotion, for which Abduraimov has become famous. Debussy's gentle miniatures are tender reflections on childhood. And Mussorgsky's Pictures at the Exhibition brings painting of Mussorgsky's friend to life.
Described by The New York Times as the master of all he surveys and with The Washington Post noting to keep your ear on this one," Abduraimov's captivating performances continue to receive international praise. Following his debut success at Carnegie Hall in 2015, recent seasons have seen Abduraimov work with leading orchestras worldwide. An award-winning recording artist, he released his first concerto disc in 2014 on Decca Classics which features Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.3 and Tchaikovsky's Concerto No.1 with the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai under Juraj Val uha. His debut recital CD won both the Choc de Classica and the Diapason D couverte. Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in 1990, Abduraimov began to play the piano at the age of five as a pupil of Tamara Popovich at Uspensky State Central Lyceum in Tashkent. He is an alumnus of Park University's International Center for Music where he studied with Stanislav Ioudenitch, and now serves as the ICM's artist-in-residence.

Born into a family of musicians, pianist Jan Jiracek von Arnim has been described by BBC Music Magazine as one of the leading pianists of his generation.

Mr. Jiracek is a professor at the Vienna School of Music.
To help celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven's 250th Birthday (he was born in 1770), Mr. Jiracek's program will include works solely by the composer.
Park ICM 1900 Series Featuring Miriam Fried, Violin & Stanislav Ioudenitch, Piano
Saturday, January 25, 2020, 7:30 p.m., 1900 Building, Mission Woods, Kansas
Miriam Fried has been recognized for many years as one of the world's preeminent violinists. A consummate musician, equally accomplished as recitalist, concerto soloist or chamber musician, she has been heralded for her fiery intensity and emotional depth (Musical America) as well as for her technical mastery. Her supreme blend of artistry and musicianship continues to inspire audiences worldwide.
Fried has played with virtually every major orchestra in the United States and Europe and has been a frequent guest with the principal orchestras of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, as well as with the Israel Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony. Recital tours have taken her to all of the major music centers in North America and to Brussels, London, Milan, Munich, Rome, Paris, Salzburg, Stockholm and Zurich.
Fried plays a particularly noteworthy violin, a 1718 Stradivarius that is said to have been the favorite of its 18th-century owner, the composer-conductor Louis Spohr. It was also owned by Regina Strinasacchi who, it is thought, used the instrument to play with Mozart the Sonata in B-flat, K. 454, which had been written for her.
A noted pedagogue, Miriam Fried is a professor at New England Conservatory and is invited to give master classes throughout the world. Since 1994 she has been program Director of the Ravinia Steans Music Institute, one of the country's leading summer programs for young musicians. During this time she performed regularly at the Ravinia Festival as soloist with the Chicago Symphony, in recital and in chamber concerts.
Park ICM is pleased to have Ms. Fried in recital with Park ICM Founder and Van Cliburn Gold Medalist, Stanislav Ioudenitch on piano. Their program will include works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven and C sar Franck.
