Andrey Chulovskiy is known as pianist-virtuoso, whose appearances took place in Gregynog Hall. This year he will give the organ recital at St Mary's in Welshpool to celebrate 40 years of his activity as a professional musician. He will perform not only masterpieces by Bach (Passacagliah), Reger (Choral Fantasy op.52, Nr 2) and Shchedrin (polyphonic prelude "Twinkling of Galaxies"), but also his own compositions & arrangements for organ ("Living Stone", "Voices of birds" etc.), which had been published, recorded on CDs and included into collections of main libraries worldwide, such as British Library in London, Library of Congress in Washington, National Library of France in Paris, Naxos Music Library in Hong-Kong & Tokyo, libraries of Cambridge and Oxford Universities, more than 200 libraries of US and Canada universities, including Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, New-York, Toronto, Montreal Universities and Juilliard School. The recital will include the world premiere of his new composition "Brooks and Waterfalls of Wales". His son Alexander (10 years old) will help him to introduce new compositions by singing two songs, composed recently for children. Attendees of the concert will have a good chance to see extremely beautiful stained glass windows and to hear the full range of marvellous sound palette of the great British organ, built by Henry Willis in the 19th century (restored and tuned by organ builder Mr Eric Newbound). Light refreshment will be available in the interval between two parts (35 minutes each) of the concert.
