Yuri Medianik (former student of Viatcheslav Semionov), 1st prize winner of the International Competition of Moscow 2000 and laureate of international competitions as a violinist and accordionist, hasn’t appeared on stage with the accordion and violin so much lately.

The Glinka String Quartet gives more than 50 concerts in a year, and have recorded more than 10 CDs, and their music is often heard on the radio. Next season, some more joint concerts are planned with the Glinka Quartet. Another concert (June 14th) took place at the Opera House in the city of Voronezh. Yuri Medianik played 3 instruments: violin, button accordion and bandoneon, and his programme included transcriptions and arrangements of pieces by Vitali, Kreisler, etc. Using the button accordion he played R. Galliano’s ‘Opale Concerto’, and with the bandoneon played some tangos of composers of the Soviet period. |
