TPAC Artists at Crescendo!

The Performing Arts Consortium presents a TPAC Artists Recital at Crescendo with pianist Dasha Bukhartseva and cellist Marcel Krasner in a delightful program of Dvorak, Piazzolla, Janacek and Kodaly.

Ukrainian pianist Dasha Bukhartseva is an active solo and chamber performer. She is currently finishing her Doctorate degree at Stony Brook University, where she teaches in the Undergraduate department. Dasha’s main musical vision is to expose the audience to unfamiliar music from different nations, making an emphasis on Folk Music with the intention of destroying divisions and prejudices between people through the beauty of universal unspoken language.

Cellist, Marcel Krasner is a soloist, chamber musician and founder of Velveteen Ensemble, whose mission is to provide opportunities by collaborating with composers, musicians, dancers and other artists.  Marcel had completed his undergraduate studies at Brooklyn College, where he studied Music Performance and Business, Finance and Management and holds a Master of Music degree from Story Brook University, where he studied with Colin Carr. Marcel’s goal is to open people’s eyes to the importance of classical music.
