My Piano Transcriptions at Maria Gambaryan's 100th Birthday | She Was There Listening! 🎹

On October 1st, 2025, I had the profound honor of closing the centenary birthday celebration concert for the legendary Maria Gambaryan at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music - and she was there, listening! Maria Gambaryan (born 1925) is a distinguished student of the legendary pianist and pedagogue Konstantin Igumnov, one of the pillars of the Russian piano school and a direct link to the golden age of Russian pianism. At 100 years old, she continues to inspire generations of musicians. I am deeply grateful to my professor Rustam Shaykhutdinov, who is himself a student of Maria Gambaryan, for organizing this event and giving me this incredible opportunity to conclude the concert with my virtuoso transcriptions. I would like to share specifically the transcription of “Kalinka,” which has a special place in my heart. In these difficult times, it conveys the full tragedy of the current situation. And yet there is always a ray of light, because it is Maria Gambarjan's birthday, which means that at the end we hear “Happy Birthday!”
