Classical Pianist Paremski to Play With UK Orchestra

Published: Feb 7, 2012

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 7, 2012) − Celebrated Russian-born pianist Natasha Paremski will perform in concert with the University of Kentucky Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of John Nardolillo. The concert featuring the classical pianist will take the stage 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, at the Singletary Center for the Arts Concert Hall.

The noted classical pianist will join UK Symphony Orchestra for a concert featuring performances of Edvard Grieg’s Concerto in A minor, Op. 16 and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5.

Born in Moscow, Paremski’s family made the difficult decision to immigrate to the United States in the early 1990s to escape crime and economic instability after her father, a noted scientific researcher, was assaulted in what was thought to be one of the city's safest neighborhoods. The young girl resumed piano lessons after settling in California and has since launched a career thanks to abundant technical and interpretive abilities that defy her young age. With consistently striking and dynamic performances, Paremski reveals astounding virtuosity and voracious interpretive abilities for someone in her 20s. She continues to generate excitement from all corners, winning over audiences with her musical sensibility and flawless technique.

In September 2010, Paremski was awarded the Classical Recording Foundation’s Young Artist of the Year, and her brand new self-titled debut solo album not only debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Traditional Classical Chart, but was the No. 1 bestseller in Barnes and Noble's New Releases in Classical. Her growing list of awards includes the Prix Montblanc 2007, the 2006 Gilmore Young Artist Award, top prize in the 2002 Bronislaw Kaper Awards, and top prize in the Young Artists in Carnegie Hall 2000 International Piano Festival.

Paremski made her professional debut at age 9 with the El Camino Youth Symphony in California. At 15 years old, she debuted with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and recorded two discs on the Bel Air Music Label with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra under Dmitry Yablonsky, the first featuring Anton Rubinstein's Piano Concerto No. 4 coupled with Sergei Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and the second featuring all of Frédéric Chopin's shorter works for piano and orchestra.

Last summer Paremski toured Latvia and Austria with Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica, performing Chopin Piano Concerto Nos. 1 and 2. They performed at 30th anniversary of Kammermusikfest Lockenhaus, of which Gidon Kremer served as artistic director. Her past appearances include performances with the San Francisco Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony, Houston Symphony, Berkeley Symphony, Dallas Symphony, New York Youth Symphony at Carnegie Hall, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. Paremski has also given recitals at London’s Wigmore Hall, the Auditorium du Louvre in Paris, the Schloss Elmau and Verbier festivals, and on the Rising Stars Series of Gilmore and Ravinia.

To listen to Paremski play part of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Tempest" as part of the WQXR Beethoven 32-Piano Sonata Marathon, visit YouTube online at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMPvIltbO2c.

The UK Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of John Nardolillo, presents 10 or more performances each season including symphonic concerts, operas, major works with choirs, and the Concerto Competition concert. Since Nardolillo's arrival at the university, the orchestra has performed on prestigious stages at the Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall, and shared the stage with such acclaimed international artists as Arlo Guthrie, Lynn Harrell, Gil Shaham, Mark O'Connor, Sarah Chang, Marvin Hamlisch and Itzhak Perlman. Last fall, UK Symphony Orchestra performed with the Boston Pops in a side-by-side concert at Rupp Arena and joined Pink Martini in concert at Singletary Center. UK Symphony Orchestra is one of a very select group of university orchestras under contract with Naxos, the world's largest classical recording label.

Patrons attending the Natasha Paremski concert Feb. 11 will have the opportunity to sign up to be the first to purchase tickets to see pianist Lang Lang's 2013 concert with the UK Symphony Orchestra. The concert date and on-sale date for the Lang Lang concert are to be announced. Patrons who fill out an order form for Lang Lang tickets at the Paremski concert will be contacted first when the concert date is confirmed. Attendees will also be put in a drawing to receive four complimentary tickets to the Lang Lang performance.

Tickets for the Natasha Paremski and UK Symphony Orchestra concert are based on seating location and range from $45 to $25. Special rates are available for students and faculty/staff. Tickets for UK faculty/staff are $18 and for students are $10. A processing fee will be added upon completion of all transactions. Tickets can be purchased through the Singletary Center Ticket Office at (859) 257-4929, online at www.tinyurl.com/7c56dz7, or in person at the ticket office.

A part of the UK College of Fine Arts, the Singletary Center for the Arts presents and hosts around 400 artistic, cultural and educational events annually for the university community, Lexington community and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
