Nov. 20 — Mariposa Series returns to the Music Academy

The Music Academy presents the Mariposa Series: three concerts welcoming our community to Hahn Hall this fall.

Launched in 2022, these homecoming concerts bring Music Academy alumni, teaching artists, and our community to Miraflores for an intimate recital experience.

Post-concert receptions offered to meet the artists, including an introduction to new Music Academy President & CEO Shauna Quill.

 

Frank Huang has established a major career as a violin virtuoso and was the First Prize Winner of  both the 2003 Walter W. Naumburg Foundation’s Violin Competition and the 2000 Hannover International Violin Competition.

 

Natasha Kislenko has performed extensively as a soloist and a collaborative pianist across Russia, Europe, Asia, and the United States. She has appeared in performance with numerous distinguished soloists, including Torleif Tedeen, James Buswell, Zvi Zeitlin, Theodore Kuchar, Tadeu Coelho, and Leone Buyse.

The duo will perform works for violin and piano by Ludwig Van Beethoven, Pablo de Sarasate, Clara Schumann, and Camille Saint-Saëns.
