Valentina Lisitsa & Alexei Kuznetsoff, duo piano players, perform in concert.
Newspapers across the country proclaim the Ukrainian piano duo, Valentina Lisitsa and Alexei Kuznetsoff, as the most "exciting," "accomplished," and "uncommon" two-piano team in the world. During the 1996-97 season, the award-winning husband-wife duo participated in an important North American tour as soloists with the Orchestre National de France under the direction of Charles Dutoit, which included performances at New York's Lincoln Center, Boston, and Miami. Young, gifted, and flawless in their execution of a full repertoire of classical music, Lisitsa and Kuznetsoff create together what critics say is a "technically effortless, interpretively cohesive" experience for listeners. Now living in the U.S., Lisitsa and Kuznetsoff bring to Western Michigan a rare opportunity to see and hear duo-piano perfection.
