DESCRIPTION:Diamonds in the Rough\nArtists\nAsiya Korepanova\, piano\nIrina Muresanu\, violin\nRonald Lowry\, cello \nViolinist Irina Muresanu and pianist Asiya Korepanova join cellist Ronald Lowry in a program that brims with passion and contrast\, characterized by shimmering color (Turina)\, fiery intensity (Babajanian)\, and lyrical virtuosity (Felix Mendelssohn). \nProgram \nJoaquín Turina\, Piano Trio No. 2 in B minor\, Op. 76\nArno Babajanian\, Piano Trio in F-sharp minor\nFelix Mendelssohn\, Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor\, Op. 66 \nAbout the Artists \nAsiya Korepanova\nWith a repertoire of over sixty works ranging from baroque to contemporary\, pianist Asiya Korepanova is also a composer\, transcriber\, visual artist\, and poet. “Poème\,” her work for alto saxophone and piano\, recently received its world premiere. A native of Russia\, Ms. Korepanova debuted at age nine and has since soloed with many Russian orchestras. In the U.S.\, she won the gold medal at the Wideman International Piano Competition and earned an Artist Diploma from the University of Miami. South Florida Classical Review has hailed her “blazing technique” and her “singular affinity for Rachmaninoff’s Russian romantic idiom.” Ms. Korepanova celebrated Rachmaninoff’s 150th birthday in 2023 with performances of his complete solo piano music. \n  \nIrina Muresanu\nRomanian violinist Irina Muresanu is known for elegant and passionate performances that stretch the boundaries of classical music. A sought-after soloist and chamber musician who has appeared throughout the United States\, Canada\, Europe\, Asia\, and South Africa\, Ms. Muresanu is a compelling interpreter of contemporary music. Her concerts have frequently been cited by the Boston Globe as among the “Best of Classical Music Performances.” As a faculty member of the University of Maryland\, she has documented worldwide variations in violin technique\, and she is engaged in development of AI technology for use in violin instruction. Ms. Muresanu earned the Artist Diploma and Doctor in Musical Arts degrees from New England Conservatory. She plays an 1849 Giuseppe Rocca violin with an Étienne Pajeot bow. \n  \nRonald Lowry\nNeedham Concert Society artistic director Ronald Lowry—praised in the Boston Globe for “superb” musicianship—is principal cellist of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and the Boston Ballet Orchestra.
