Born in Latvia, Kremer has championed the work of contemporary Russian and Eastern European composers throughout his five-decade-long career, including Mieczysław Weinberg, the Polish-born composer and pianist whose works will be featured.

In addition to performing alongside Kremer, Avdeeva, who first gained worldwide recognition as First Prize Winner at the 2010 Chopin Competition, will perform Chopin’s Piano Sonata No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 58.
