Music Notes:

Stefan Milenkovich – “Violinist Stefan Milenkovich’s recital at the Kennedy Center was so disarmingly magical that it is not easy to describe it’s glories. Milenkovich is clearly at the threshold of a major career. This is not so much a matter of a dazzling virtuosity (though he has it all) as of searching musicianship.” – The Washington Post

Stephen Beus – “Stephen Beus… intoned like a veteran, producing a totally professional sound and demonstrating sophistication beyond his years… Mr. Beus impressed with his evenhandedness, a uniformity of touch sans pedal that made a strong case for Bach on the modern Steinway. By keeping his declamations on an even keel, his lower notes exhibited more power as groundings without any need to make them louder than their upper cohorts. Some slight silences between phrases stressed the drama, while a strong enunciation fostered just the right feeling of gravitas… Expertly performed.” New York Sun, 2008

David Requiro – Returning after a 2009 performance with our concert series, Winner of the 2008 Walter W. Naumburg International Competition. “Requiro has everything ~ musicianship, poise, dazzling technique, and even that great indefinable, star quality” Michael Morgan, San Francisco Classical Voice
