Helena Baillie with Tanya Gabrielian
The program at HOH will be an Italian theme, book-ended by two neoclassical suites by Russian composers including works by Alfred Schnittke, Giuseppe Tartini, Antonio Vivaldi, Pietro Locatelli, and Igor Stravinsky. Performed by Helena Baillie joined by pianist Tanya Gabrielian.
Helena Baillie demonstrates a rare ease on both violin and viola, she frequently switches between the two in recital. The Strad, regarded as the bible of the stringed instrument market worldwide, remarked on her New York debut's "brilliance and poignance." The London-born Baillie is a prizewinner in international competitions including the Munich ARD, Banff and Tertis, Baillie has performed throughout Europe and the United States, where her performances are regularly broadcast on Performance Today for American Public Radio. She has collaborated in chamber music with such eminent musicians as Pinchas Zukerman, Midori, the Tokyo Quartet and the Beaux Arts Trio. Her love and prowess of chamber music has taken her to the La Jolla Summerfest, Tucson Winter Chamber Festival, and the Kronberg Festival in Frankfurt, among others. She has performed at Carnegie Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigmore Hall in London, and the Sydney Opera House.
Baillie is a graduate from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied violin with Arnold Steinhardt and viola with Roberto Diaz. Isaac Stern, Felix Galimir, and Leon Fleisher guided Helena in chamber music, and she spent a year in Berlin studying with the eminent violist Wilfried Strehle. Baillie's instruments are both made by Brooklyn-based luthier Sam Zygmuntowicz.
The London Times referred to pianist Tanya Gabrielian as "a pianist of powerful physical and imaginative muscle," Tanya Gabrielian's recent performances include Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York, Sydney Opera House, Dame Myra Hess Concert Series in Chicago, Edinburgh International Festival, Salle Cortot in Paris, and a return recital engagement at Wigmore Hall in London.
Gabrielian rose to international acclaim with first prizes in the Scottish International Piano Competition, and the Aram Khachaturyan International Piano Competition. She is also a laureate of the Sydney International Piano Competition, and the Bosendorfer International Piano Competition. Her Wigmore Hall debut, as winner of the coveted Wigmore Prize awarded by the Royal Academy of Music, was reviewed as "revelatory, a feast of romantic pianism which held us enthralled."
Praised by the Washington Post for her "strikingly poised nobility" and "commanding presence", pianist Tanya Gabrielian recent performance highlights include performances at the Washington International Piano Festival, the International Beethoven Project in Chicago, and the Juneau Symphony Orchestra, Encore Series at Elmira College.
