January 3, 2006 – 22-year-old Russian pianist Gleb Ivanov will make his New York debut on Tuesday, January 31, 2006 at 7:30 p.m. in Zankel Hall at Carnegie. This concert is sponsored by the Peter P. Marino Prize.

“This talent seems larger than life and calls to mind the legendary pianists Horowitz, Rachmaninoff, and Rubinstein,” wrote The Washington Times after Mr. Ivanov’s recent debut at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and The Washington Post said, “Ivanov is virtually unknown in the United States, but that is unlikely to last much longer.”

Mr. Ivanov won the 2005 Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York, at which he was also awarded the Fergus Prize, the Fondation Calouste Gulbenkian Prize, the Slomovic Orchestra Soloist Prize, The Alys Robinson Stevens Performing Arts Center Prize, and the Princeton University Concerts Prize.

Born into a family of musicians in Moscow, Mr. Ivanov began to accompany his father’s vocal recitals at the age of eight. Since 2004, he has been mentored by Mstislav Rostropovich, performing on tour and as soloist with the Nizhny Novgorod Philharmonic under the Maestro. A graduate of the Moscow Conservatory, is currently at the Manhattan School of Music, where he is the first recipient of the prestigious Harold and Helene Schonberg Pianist Scholarship.

Young Concert Artists, Inc., a non-profit organization, presents the winners of its annual Auditions in debuts in New York, Boston, and Washington, DC and provides ongoing management services to launch their careers. Previous pianists on the YCA roster have included Emanuel Ax, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Richard Goode.
