On September 18, 2024 at 7 pm at Knowlton Auditorium, Osip Nikiforov, premier piano soloist, will be offering a free concert on Austin’s prized Fazioli piano to Austin community members . Below is a link to Osip’s Minnesota Orchestra web page.
Prior to the concert, Osip will work with Austin High School music students on the newly refurbished Steinway Piano. This refurbishment was a community funded endeavor, including a significant amount raised by the annual Blair Lawhead Celebration of Music concerts.
“The Blair Lawhead concerts have attempted to enrich Austin by presenting community members with elite musical performances that reach a level one would expect at Carnegie Hall,” Lawhead stated. “Additionally, these concerts seek to raise money for music education, while celebrating the history of Austin’s great music educators, like Susan Radloff, Sonia Larson, Millie Masse, David Jordahl, and Richard Larson. These music educators, along with the Austin Symphony Orchestra, are the bedrock to Austin’s tradition of musical greatness. Hopefully, these concerts can help perpetuate this legacy.”
