Music Ministry of First United Methodist Church - Denton will present the young concert pianist Arsentiy Kharitonov in a recital of masterpieces by Scriabin, Tchaikovsky, Schumann and Rameau in our church’s Sanctuary on Sunday afternoon July 2 at 3:00 pm.
Kharitonov is a graduate of the Rimsky-Korsakov College of Music of the St. Petersburg Conservatory in Russia and the College of Music at the University of North Texas. After his triumphant debut at a packed Carnegie Hall in May of 2016, noted New York classical music critic Raymond Beegle proclaimed him “in the top ranks of keyboard players today.” At the close of 2016 Beegle went on to write that Kharitonov’s Carnegie recital ranked among the top 5 classical music events in New York City for the entire year.
Fanfare Magazine described him as a pianist of “sumptuous tone, technical mastery, with a broad dramatic range of astonishing breadth and elegant phrasing.”
A prizewinner of national and international competitions, Arsentiy Kharitonov has been heard in solo recitals and with orchestras in Russia, Europe, Asia, and the USA. “His style is unlike any of his contemporaries, and harkens back to earlier times...Trumping some of the more prominent musical gymnasts, there is genuine poetry here and a rare sincerity issuing, it seems, from the deeper reaches of the human heart.” New York Observer
The concert is free. A goodwill offering benefitting the church’s music ministry will be collected.
