Win tickets to Alexander Malofeev at Keyboard Concerts

I‘m giving away two pairs of tickets to hear one of the most celebrated young Russian pianists in the world. Alexander Malofeev, just 22, has won numerous international piano contests and has performed in some of the world’s leading concert halls. He performs at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 29, at the Fresno State Concert Hall as part of the Philip Lorenz International Keyboard Concerts series.

Tickets for the event are $40 general, $30 seniors and $5 students.

This is actually the second trip to Fresno for Malofeev, who is now a resident of Berlin. He will perform an eclectic program that includes a fiendishly difficult piano version of Wagner’s Tannhäuser Overture.

The contest is open to members, donors and individual sponsors of The Munro Review. Tax-deductible memberships start at $5 a month, and you can make a one-time donation of as little as $3.
