Ilya Rashvovskiy, born in 1984 in Russia, made his debut with Irkutsk orchestra when he was just eight years old.

Before winning the 8th International Piano Competition in 2012, Ilya Rashvovskiy had been consistently listed as one of top winners in international piano competitions such as the M.Long-J.Thibaud in Paris, Queen Elisabeth in Brussels and A.Rubinstein in Tel Aviv. He also won the first prize in the International Piano competition in Hong Kong.

Ilya’s latest CD ‘Chopin Complete Etudes’ was released by Victor Entertainment Japan in October 2013. He also recorded Tchaikovsky’s Season and Sonata in C-sharp minor for Label Records in 2008 as well as Fantasies (Mozart, Chopin, Liszt và Scriabin) for Alpha Omega Hong Kong in 2009.

The Grammy Winner David Alan Miller has proved himself to be one of the best conductors of his generation. Before being appointed Music Director of the Albany Symphony Orchestra in 1992, he was the co-conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. From 1982 to 1988, Miller was Music Director of the New York Youth Symphony Orchestra.
