Chamber Music Marin will kick-off their 2023/24 Chamber Music Concert Series with International Pianist Ilya Yakushev. The new season will continue the celebration of the organization's 50th anniversary of presenting world-renowned classical musicians in intimate concerts at affordable prices.
Since its inception in 1973, the all-volunteer nonprofit has presented hundreds of nationally and internationally recognized touring musicians to audiences totalling over 50,000 guests. Many of these musicians are rising stars, with notable musicians such as Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell and world renowned pianist Angela Hewitt having performed in past concert series.
A native of St. Petersburg, Russia, Ilya Yakushev won the World Piano Competition in 2005 and has gone on to an outstanding career in Europe and North America, performing both demanding solo concerts and appearing as soloist with prestigious orchestras, including the SF Symphony. He will present an ambitious program ranging from Mozart through Beethoven’s “Appassionata” Sonata to Gershwin via Liszt, Scriabin and Rachmaninoff.
