Pianofest / The Final Stretch: SCC, July 20th | WHBPAC, July 22nd | SCC Finale, July 27th

From the Faculty

Konstantin Soukhovetski — a Pianofest alumnus (2000–2007), former Artist-in-Residence, and a 2026 Pianofest faculty member — released Yuliya: Forgotten Songs of Julia Weissberg Rimsky-Korsakov on Azica Records in August 2025, recorded with soprano Sarah Moulton Faux.

Julia Weissberg (1878–1942) studied composition with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov at the St. Petersburg Conservatory and later married his son Andrei. She published more than seventy-five works during her lifetime, but her songs were largely unheard since the early twentieth century. The album presents fifteen songs uncovered at the Russian State Library in Moscow, produced by seven-time Grammy winner Judith Sherman.
