The 2nd Monday Series will host Charleston Music Fest for a night of intimate chamber music. Graduates of the prestigious Moscow Conservatory, faculty duo Natalia Khoma (cello) and Volodymyr Vynnytsky (piano) will present a romantic concert of Beethoven’s Variations in Eb-Major from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and Sergei Rachmaninov’s Sonata in G minor, Op. 19 for cello and piano.

Natalia Khoma – Volodymyr Vynnytsky Duo is a unique team of two virtuoso soloists from the same city and with a similar background. Both were born in Lviv, Ukraine, studied at the prestigious Moscow Conservatory, are International Competitions winners. Each has a distinguished career as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician, and has appeared individually and as a Duo with major orchestras and premier chamber music series through the United States and Europe. With performances that have been hailed around the world as “most excellent,” “perfectly controlled and beautifully expressive,” “magical…deeply touching,” “with virtuosity and admirable feeling,” “passion, profundity and poignancy,” “cellist pianist solo soulmates,” the Duo is one of the most electrifying musical partnerships.
