Lidia Kaminska performs in Merkin Concert Hall, New York- USAby Kevin Friedrich |
 |
 The Merkin Concert Hall Kaufman Center concert series featured an outstanding performance by Polish-born accordionist Dr. Lidia Kaminska. More than 400 people packed the auditorium to hear Lidia perform works by Bach, Scarlatti, Albeniz, Zolotariev, Khachaturian and Pagannin/Liszt. Lidia is the winner of the Astral Artists’ 2007 National Award, a concert agency that has presented her in recital around the United States. A graduate of the Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw, she came to the USA to study at the University of Missouri, Kansas City with Joan Cochran Sommers, and became the first and only person to receive a Doctorate in Accordion Performance. The winner of numerous competitions both national and international, Lidia recently performed in a concert with Placido Domingo at Constitution Hall in Washington DC. Lidia has appeared with orchestras and chamber groups throughout the country, and in addition, made her debut on bandoneon at the famed Lincoln Center in New York City in 2007. In addition to her concert and symphonic performances, Dr. Lidia Kaminska is also on tour as the accordionist with the famed Cirque du Soleil in their production of Alegria.
