Inessa Gleyzerova Shindel has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Merkin Concert Hall: “Performing Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz, Ms. Gleyzerova delivered a darting, fast paced, volatile account, somewhat reminiscent of that given by the young Vladimir Ashkenazy,” wrote New York Concert Review critic Harris Goldsmith. Galina Prilutskaya has performed throughout the United States, Germany, and Russia. Both artists are faculty at the Westminister Conservatory. They will perform works by Chopin, Rachmaninov, and Moszkowski.

The performance is entitled ‘Fantasy, Images & Impressions’ and will include pieces by Mendelssohn, Debussy and ‘Trois Impressions of Jazz idiom’ by Joseph Makholm.
