Major\, K. 563\n\nAllegro\nAdagio\nMenuetto: Allegretto\nAndante\nMenuetto: Allegretto\nAllegro\n\n\nBeethoven String Trio in G Major\, Op. 9\, No. 1\n\nAdagio – Allegro con brio\nAdagio ma non tanto e cantabile\nScherzo. Allegro  – Trio\nPresto\n\n\n\nwith Mark Peskanov\, violin; Chauncey Patterson\, viola; Julian Schwarz\, cello \n\nAmerican virtuoso violinist and artistic visionary Mark Peskanov was born in Odessa\, U.S.S.R. (now Odesa\, Ukraine). Peskanov sang before he could walk or talk\, and soon became a star violin student at the famed Stolyarsky school. At fifteen\, he emigrated to the United States\, where he was immediately accepted at the Aspen Music Festival and the Juilliard School.\nHis phenomenal facility and musicianship won him both the Aspen and Juilliard concerto competitions\, bringing him to the notice of Isaac Stern and Mstislav Rostropovich and rocketing him into the top echelons of the music world. Upon his debut with the Chicago Symphony\, the Chicago Tribune called him a “sensational soloist.” The Cleveland Plain Dealer proclaimed\, “Violinist Adds Glory to Odessa” and the New York Times declared\, “Mark Peskanov is a tremendous young violinist and his Friday evening concert at Carnegie Hall was a triumph…He has it all—technique\, temperament\, and taste.” \nPeskanov is a staunch champion of American composers. He premiered the John Williams Concerto with the St. Louis Symphony\, and the Stanley Wolfe Concerto (written for Peskanov) with the New York Philharmonic. He has performed more than fifty concertos with virtually every major U.S. orchestra and in Europe\, the Middle East\, Australia\, South America and Japan. Peskanov’s major accolades include the Avery Fischer Career Grant\, the first Frederick R. Mann Award\, and Carnegie Hall’s first Isaac Stern Award. \nPeskanov inaugurated Tokyo’s Suntory Hall with Yo-Yo Ma and Stern\, and Weill Recital Hall with Stern\, Midori and Gil Shaham. Collaborating with these colleagues prompted Peskanov to turn intensively to the chamber music repertoire’s more intimate\, complex\, and dialogical possibilities. His delight in chamber music\, his independent artistic vision\, and his desire to mentor promising musicians as he had been mentored\, led to Peskanov’s present role. Since 2005\, he is president and artistic/executive director of Bargemusic\, New York City’s cultural icon in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Over more than three decades of artistic involvement with Bargemusic\, Peskanov has curated in the neighborhood of five thousand chamber concerts\, encompassing a vast range of genres and styles in hundreds of concerts annually. Under his leadership Bargemusic continues to evolve as an innovative\, influential\, and integral component of New York City’s cultural world. \nPeskanov is known for his openness to an astonishing range of music and artists at all stages of their careers. Muses the New York Times\, “One reason that openness seems to come so easily to Mr. Peskanov is that few proposals crossing his desk are likely to outpace his own vision of what Bargemusic can be.”\nChauncey Patterson is principal violist for Palm Beach Symphony\, solo violist for Florida Grand Opera\, violist for the Bergonzi String Quartet at the University of Miami\, and member of the Nu Deco Ensemble. He has been principal violist of the Denver and Buffalo Symphonies and\, for 15 years\, was the violist with the Miami String Quartet\, an internationally renowned and extensively recorded ensemble.\nPatterson started playing the viola at age seven in the public school system of Burlington\, North Carolina. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, the Cleveland Institute of Music\, and the Curtis Institute\, where he studied with Ann Woodward\, Robert Vernon\, Karen Tuttle\, and Michael Tree respectively. He began his professional career at age 23 as assistant principal viola of the Denver Symphony. He was eventually appointed principal viola by Music Director Philippe Entremont. His next post was principal viola of the Buffalo Philharmonic under the direction of Semyon Bychkov. During his stay in Buffalo\, Patterson accepted the viola position in the award-winning Miami String Quartet. During his 15-year tenure\, the MSQ garnered awards in the quartet competitions of London and Evian and became the first string quartet to win the Concert Artist Guild New York Competition. The quartet recorded a number of CD’s\, most notably\, The Ginastera Quartets\, The Quartets of Pēteris Vasks\, and The Saint-Saens and Faure String Quartets for the BMG Conifer label. The MSQ toured the U.S. extensively\, playing at virtually every high-profile venue\, including Lincoln Center\, the Kennedy Center\, Carnegie Hall\, and the Hollywood Bowl. International performances (both with and without the MSQ) have taken Patterson to Mexico\, Canada\, Puerto Rico\, Barbados\, Panama\, Brazil\, Hong Kong\, Taiwan\, Turkey\, Spain\, Italy\, Germany\, France\, Switzerland\, England\, and the Netherlands. \nMr. Patterson has shared the chamber music stage with such distinguished artists as: Gil Shaham\, Garrick Ohlsson\, Cho-Liang Lin\, Robert Chen\, Jaime Laredo\, Sharon Robinson\, Paul Neubauer\, Aaron Rosand\, Menahem Pressler\, Peter Wiley\, Andre-Michel Schub\, Bill Preucil\, Ida Kavafian\, Lynn Harrell\, Arto Noras\, Mark Johnson\, Eugene Druckman\, and Robert Vernon. Following his tenure with the MSQ\, Patterson served as interim violist of the world-renowned Fine Arts Quartet. Education has been a major component of Patterson’s career. \nHis faculty affiliations include: The Cleveland Institute of Music\, Blossom School of Music\, Kent State University\, Hartt School of Music\, Encore School for Strings\, Eastern Music Festival\, University of Charleston (W.V.)\, University of Denver\, New World School of the Arts\, Florida International University\, the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee\, and the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. Patterson currently lives in Miami\, Florida.\n Julian Schwarz has been heralded from a young age as a cellist destined to rank among the greatest of the 21st century\, Julian’s powerful tone\, effortless virtuosity\, and extraordinarily large color palette are hallmarks of his style.\nAfter making his concerto debut at the age of 11 with the Seattle Symphony\, he made his US touring debut with the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra in 2010. Since being awarded first prize at the inaugural Schoenfeld International String Competition in Hong Kong\, he has led an active career as soloist\, performing with the symphony orchestras of Annapolis\, Arizona\, Boise\, Buffalo\, Charlotte\, Columbus\, Delaware\, Des Moines\, Hartford\, Jacksonville\, Louisville\, Memphis\, Modesto\, Omaha\, Puerto Rico\, Richmond\, Rochester\, San Antonio\, San Jose\, Sarasota\, Syracuse\, Toledo\, Tucson\, Virginia\, West Virginia\, Wichita\, and Winston-Salem\, among many others. Internationally\, he made his Australian debut with the Queensland Symphony\, his Mexican debuts with the Boca del Rio Philharmonic in Veracruz and the Mexico City Philharmonic with frequent collaborator Jorge Mester. \nAs a chamber musician\, Mr. Schwarz performs extensively in recital with pianist Marika Bournaki.

His championing the cello music of Arthur Foote will result in the first commercial recording of Foote’s Cello Concerto (1894) with the Buffalo Philharmonic\, to be released on the Delos label. Past commissioning projects include concertos by Lowell Liebermann (recorded with the Annapolis Symphony for release in 2025)\, Richard Danielpour\, and Samuel Jones (recorded with the All Star Orchestra for public television in 2012\, subsequently released as a DVD on Naxos). Other premieres include recital works by Paul Frucht\, Scott Ordway\, Jonathan Cziner\, Gavin Fraser\, Alex Weiser\, Ofer Ben-Amots\, Michael Ippolito\, chamber music by Adolphus Hailstork\, Henri Lazarof\, Jonathan Newman\, Bright Sheng\, and the US Premiere of Dobrinka Tabakova’s Cello Concerto. Of special note is Mr. Schwarz’s ongoing commitment to the music of Jewish experience\, including projects with the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research (music of Joachim Stutschewsky and his circle)\, the Defiant Requiem Foundation (music of Holocaust composers and their influence) Central Synagogue (yearly feature on Jewish Broadcasting)\, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music—for which he has recorded the complete cello/piano works of Ernest Bloch\, and a new association with South Florida Public Broadcasting to raise awareness of the history of Jewish music. \nA devoted teacher\, Mr. Schwarz serves as Associate Professor of Cello and String Area Coordinator at Shenandoah Conservatory of Shenandoah University (Winchester\, VA)\, and on the artist faculty of NYU’s Steinhardt School of Music. In the summer\, he teaches and performs at the Eastern Music Festival and the Josef Gingold Festival. In 2023\, he was one of the first cellists to record pedagogical tutorials for the online teaching platform Tonebase\, including comprehensive examinations of the Elgar Concerto\, Piatti Caprices\, tone production\, and vocal elements in cello playing. As a writer\, he has contributed frequently to Strings Magazine’s Artist Blog\, has written learner’s guides for The Violin Channel\, and has edited a series of Ernest Bloch editions with written prefaces for Carl Fischer Publishing.

He continued to the Colburn School in Los Angeles under Ronald Leonard\, and then moved to New York City to study with mentor Joel Krosnick at The Juilliard School (BM 14\, MM 16).

Her emotionally charged and colorfully nuanced performances have gained her the admiration of audiences and resulted in many repeat engagements. \nAsiya\, a pianist and composer\, draws her musical inspiration from the legacy of Dmitry Shostakovich\, having studied composition under his direct disciple\, Albert Leman. \nShe is the author of original works in multiple genres and instrumentations. Her historic solo piano transcriptions of Richard Strauss’ ‘Ein Heldenleben’\, Rachmaninoff’s Cello Sonata\, Tchaikovsky’s ‘Manfred’ Symphony\,  Mussorgsky’s ‘Songs and Dances of Death’ have placed her among today’s formidable transcribers\, and attracted attention of  world-renown pianists such as Lang Lang and Polina Osetinskaya\, who commissioned and recorded Asiya’s transcriptions. \nThe most recent composition events include the world premiere recording of Asiya’s concerto for alto saxophone and piano\, Poéme\, performed by Thomas Giles and Liana Pailodze Harron; the publication of her transcription of Rachmaninoff’s cello sonata; the premiere of her Piano Quintet ‘I marvel at the sky’\, commissioned by the Third Dimension Music Festival; and the premiere of Con Brio for two pianos\, performed with her duo partner Ilya Kazantsev as a part of the Dranoff Two Piano Foundation series. \nAn avid chamber musician\, Asiya collaborates with a wide array of musicians\, such as David Shifrin\, the Balourdet Quartet\, the Hermitage Piano Trio\, Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt\, Rodney Marsalis\, Julian Schwarz\, Eleni Katz\, Irina Muresanu\, and Alexander Fiterstein. She regularly performs as part of the ’88 by 20′ piano duo with her friend and former classmate\, Grammy-nominated pianist Ilya Kazantsev. \nUninhibited in her artistic expression\, Asiya is also sought after her work as a visual artist and poet. Her multimedia projects featuring original poetry and visual art serve as interpretive commentary for a particular cycle of piano works. These cycles include Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes\, Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier\, Tchaikovsky’s 18 Morceaux\, Op. 72\, and\, most recently\, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Asiya’s live performances of these compositions have astounded audiences and organizers alike. \nCaring about the development of society\, in 2017 Asiya founded Music for Minds\, a non-profit organization that brings classical performances into classrooms and creates music festivals featuring unique programming. From 2017 through 2019\, Asiya directed her brainchild ‘Festival Baltimore\,’ a two-week chamber music series and summer academy dedicated to the performance and study of complete cycles\, one of Music for Mind’s projects. Her new concert series\, ‘Flatiron Festival’\, premiered in June 2025 in New York City and scheduled to continue in 2026.  \nBorn in Izhevsk\, Russia\, to a musical family\, Asiya began learning the piano at 4 years old from her mother Soreya\, her first piano teacher. At the age of 6\, she was taught to read music in orchestral clefs by her father Sergey\, an exemplary composer\, and started composing her own music. At 9\, she made her orchestral debut\, playing Mozart Concerto No. 8 with her own cadenza\, and gave her first full philharmonic recital. \n  \nSimultaneously\, she began studying composition with Albert Leman\, the chair of Moscow \nConservatory’s composition department and a student of Dmitry Shostakovich\, continuing working with him until his passing in 1998. That short period has influenced all future aspects of her musical and artistic development. \n  \nIn 2012\, Asiya moved to the United States at the invitation of renowned pianist and maestro Santiago Rodriguez\, to earn a Doctoral degree under his guidance at the University of Miami. Later that year\, she was awarded the Gold Medal at the Nena Wideman International Piano Competition—an achievement that proved invaluable in establishing her concertizing career in the U.S. In 2017\, she added a University of Miami Artist Diploma degree to her portfolio\, having earned it in the studios of Kevin Kenner and Tian Ying. \n  \nAsiya has since continued to garner national attention with performances at the Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall\, the Phillips Collection\, the Newport Classical Festival\, Miami International Piano Festival\, San Francisco International Piano Festival\, and many other notable series\, symphony orchestras\, and festivals throughout the country. She has been featured on CNN\, NPR stations\, WFMT\, and WETA. \n  \nIn 2025-26 season\, Asiya makes her debut at the Tippet Rise Art Center\, returns to the San Francisco Piano Festival and Friends of Chamber Music of Miami series; premieres Amy Beach piano concerto in Argentina\, making her debut with Buenos Aires Philharmonic; debuts with  National Symphony of Chile\, Alabama Symphony and Abilene Philharmonic; tours with the Balourdet Quartet and records her debut album with Reference Recording label. In June 2026\, she directs the second season of her  Flatiron Festival\, a two-week chamber series on Manhattan\, NYC. \nShe also anticipates the releases of scores of her compositions: the Poéme for alto saxophone and piano\, Con Brio for two pianos\, and Triptych for clarinet and piano\, as well as her transcriptions for piano solo: Manfred Symphony by Peter Tchaikovsky\, Songs and Dances of Death by Mussorgsky\, and various works by Chopin\, Berg\, Tchaikovsky\, Fauré\, and Bach. \n\nAsiya and her husband Dmitry reside in a forest-rich Boston suburb\, where she is free to practice or listen to music any time of the day or night. She is an avid runner and hiker\, and a vocal advocate for a clean lifestyle. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n URL:https://www.bargemusic.org/concert/a-kaleidoscope-of-favorites-piano-recital-with-asiya-korepanova/ LOCATION:NY END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261115T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261115T140000 DTSTAMP:20261020T171711 CREATED:20260325T231650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260406T191848Z UID:8081-1794751200-1794751200@www.bargemusic.org SUMMARY:Duo Piano Recital with Alexander Peskanov and Coady Green DESCRIPTION:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Piano works by A.
