Igor Uryash, pianist and professor from St. Petersburg Conservatory performs Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.

Performance followed by discussion led by Dr. Ludmilla Leibman, Russian-born musicologist and executive director of Educational Bridge Project.

Laureate of the International piano competitions Igor Uryash studied at the Saint Petersburg (Leningrad) Conservatory. Lustrous solo performer with extensive repertoire, maestro Uryash regularly appears as soloist and chamber ensemble performer throughout Europe, USA, Canada, and Asia. Over the years he has collaborated with such world famous musicians as Mstislav Rostropovich, Maxim Vengerov, and Valery Gergiev.
