Jean and Colin Fergus are Sponsoring VASSILY PRIMAKOV, pianist, at the Lane Series, UVM Recital Hall, Burlington, Vermont
Russian pianist VASSILY PRIMAKOV won First Prize in the 2002 Young Concert Artists International Auditions. "Primakov is a pianist of remarkable insight. In the music of Brahms, he has perfect instinct for knowing when to assert strong personality and when to be introspective. In Schumann's Carnaval, he convincingly created a ballroom crowded with fascinating characters, and he played Rachmaninoff’s Piano Sonata No. 2 with power and lyricism. He is an extraordinarily promising pianist.

Fergus Partnership Consulting presents Mordecai Shehori, pianist, in concert at Alice Tully Hall.
Mordecai Shehori, an Israeli pianist who lives and teaches in New York, has built an enthusiastic following over the past 25 years, largely on the basis of a Romantic interpretive sensibility rooted in the early decades of the 20th century. The New York Times has called him a “poet and a daredevil”. His “fiery display of muscle with poetic undercurrents remind listeners that there is art within this muscular gymnastic contours.”

Jean and Colin Fergus Sponsor Markus Groh, pianist, at the Lane Series, UVM Recital Hall, Burlington, Vermont
“Since winning the 1995 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels (the first German in the competitor’s history), Markus Groh has confirmed his position in the top echelon of the new generation of pianists. The New York Times said of his recent debut at the Frick Collection in New York, “[Mr. Groh] gave a superb recital … among the more remarkable qualities of his playing was the degree to which he gave each composer a distinctive voice [Beethoven, Brahms, Schoenberg, Adès, Liszt].”
