Many Happy Returns Evgeny- great artist
Happy birthday to a wonderful pianist!
May the Kissin composer now come more to the fore.
He played his 50th birthday recital in Jerusalem this Thursday. He donated all the revenues to the Jerusalem Music Center. An unforgettable evening.
What a great way to celebrate. A great musician and a great person. He received a well
deserved standing ovation.
Celebrations started last Thursday in Jerusalem when he fulfilled his wish to give his 50th Birthday recital in aid of the Jerusalem Music Centre. The massive Binyanei HaUma was packed to the rafters and he gave 4 encores to an ecstatic audience.Complying with local Covid regulations, he stayed there a week beforehand and had to take very late night flights. He was very happy and the Jerusalem Music Center was delighted and very grateful.
A great pianist and thoroughly decent guy. Many happy returns. Just hope he follows slippedisc 😉
MANY HEALTHY AND HAPPY YEARS TO A GREAT MAN!
