Christian Tamburr Quintet
featuring special guest on Trumpet
Dominick Farinacci
Adults: $27 Students (under 18): $20
“Fans of the vibraphone are probably familiar with
the names Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Victor
Feldman and Gary Burton. In the near future they
will most likely add the name Christian Tamburr to
their list of favorite vibraphonists.”
Jeff Eason, Watauga Mountain Times, Blowing Rock, NC
“Like Stefon Harris, Tamburr has helped to inject young blood into the art of vibes and
marimba performance. Assisted by bassist, drummer and pianist, Tamburr parades his talents
as an improviser of note with cascading arpeggios and near-perfect articulation.”

Yoko Sata Kothari
Adults: $27 - Students (under 18): $20
“The major league classical labels don't know what
they're missing. However, that comes as no concern to her
audiences”
Uncle Dave Lewis, allMusic.com
“Yoko Sata Kothari's programs look ambitious and interesting”
The Palm Beach Post
“One aspect of Kothari's playing that is appealing is her
power; she has a strong, masculine approach that is
refreshing in a piano market where delicacy and holding back is considered king. However,
when sensitivity is called for, Kothari can deliver it without descending into bathos.”

Daria Rabotkina

"Daria Rabotkina is a young pianist with clearly prodigious
musical gifts....she remained sensitive to each composer's
individual subtleties..."
The Washington Post
"Sterling technique...consistently alive to the poetry"
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
"...Rabotkina is a young artist — mature beyond her years — to watch for."

Hyperion Knight
Adults: $27 - Students (under 18): $20
“Breathtakingly textured, rich and wonderful,...world-class style at the keyboard.”
The Absolute Sound
"Not since Heifetz has anyone played Gershwin solos with this
much panache...the songs glitter like jewels against black satin."
American Record Guide
"A consummate showman, Knight has a caressing, liquid touch.
His hands skim over the keys, often creating a shimmering sound as if the keyboard were ice
and the musician the skater. At the same time, each note is articulated, crystalline."

Ang Li
Adults: $27 - Students (under 18): $20
“Immediately after Ang Li’s performance, (Mikhail) Voskre-
sensky gleefully shouted, ‘Bravo! I like, I like.’ He certainly
seemed happy during her performance, actively enacting all
the drama of the piece, and was occasionally moved to parallel
her warm, robust sound with gleeful laughs and militaristic
punches...”
The Julliard Journal
"I was astonished by her clear, smooth and beautifully deliv-
ered rapid runs and her enduring strength striking the large-
span complex chords. Her touch at the piano was excellent,
sometimes bombastic, sometimes caressing. You can hear
fast-changing nuances in a split second."

Arizona Republic
"Lisa Addeo's music is an exceptional dynamic musical mix delivering breathtaking vocals and intricate piano stylings.""

Piotr Folkert
with Eliza & Emilia Folkert
Adults: $27 - Students (under 18): $20
Performing for the first time on stage with both of his daughters
"Folkert’s technique is a sound one, stopping just short of infallibility
of a Wolfram or a Browning. Folkert is thoroughly rewarding player."
The Green Bay News – Chronicle, Breen Bay, WI
"He is [a] stunning virtuoso with stellar technique. Full of tenderness,
passion, joy, sorrow and singing style that made the music come to life;
Folkert showed the stuff that world-class pianists are made of."
The State Journal, Springfield, Illinois
