Performance and the Art of Piatigorsky

Admission is free.

Join us for a stimulating conversation and performance highlighting the life and work of Russian cellist Gregor Piatigorsky. This multimedia event will feature historical video; a talk by USC’s Piatigorsky Endowed Chair in Cello, Ralph Kirshbaum; and eclectic selections of music performed by USC Thornton students. Participants will be introduced to the keys to instrumental performance, including preparation, confidence building, routines for practice and performance and the growing interdependence of these factors in the development of a successful career. The program will be presented in anticipation of the inaugural Piatigorsky International Cello Festival, which will be held in Los Angeles from March 9 through 18 and will bring together masters of the cello and young cellists from around the world.

Organized by the USC Thornton School of Music.
