About the performer: Vassily Primakov's performances and recordings have drawn rave reviews from the international critical press, the New York Times commenting that "his bold expressive phrasing and dramatic commitment brought the audience to its feet." In December 2009, National Public Radio named his "Chopin: 21 Mazurkas" CD to its "Best of the Year" list. Primakov has performed on four continents, and has been a prize-winner in many of the world's most prestigious competitions.
As noted by Irina Kovaleva, the Founder of MISHKA Children Foundation, "The concert will not be only of benefit to those listening but also provide funds for those in need. The upcoming concert is a perfect example of how classical music can enlighten minds, unite hearts and support a cause!"

Becky Starobin, President of Bridge Records, remarked that "Bridge Records is honored to collaborate with Faust Harrison Pianos for the benefit of the MISHKA Children Foundation. The support received from the guests at this event will raise money for noble cause of providing medical support for the orphaned children of the former Soviet countries."
