new: Encore Concert Monday 7th September 6pm

Dmitri Shishkin

Contestant in both the Tchaikovsky 2015 and the Chopin 2015 
plays two programs based on his performances in each competition.

I saw Dmitri Shishkin perform at the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow last June. I was very impressed. I was also delighted to learn that Dmitri has been accepted to compete in the Chopin Competition in Warsaw in October. The Tchaikovsky and the Chopin are the two major competitions in Europe. Dmitri has agreed to play for us selections from his programs from both competitions.
