Superb young singers from all over Russia and the world compete to study at the Mariinsky Academy for Young Singers in St. Petersburg, which is justly famed for its highly trained faculty and its rigorous standards of excellence. But perhaps the most important characteristic of the Academy is that the singers have the opportunity to be part of the famed Mariinsky productions. Pianist Larissa Gergieva, the Academy's director, is much in demand as an accompanist, performing with artists including Olga Borodina, Galina Gorchakova, and Larissa Diadkova. She appears with two young artists of uncommon promise and early accomplishment, soprano Irina Mataeva and Baku-born tenor Dmitry Voropaev.
Program: Duets and solos by composers including Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Alexandr Grechaninov
