Virtuoso Stas Venglevski performed in several unique venues over the past few months. Stas shares, I was glad to share the beauty of accordion sound with children as part of Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s ACE program.”
The MSO Arts in Community Education Program is nationally acclaimed and enhances students’ education through the integration of music and art into the school curriculum, accomplished through six ACE program components. ACE integrates music and arts into daily core subjects, giving students a comprehensive learning experience. It is nationally recognized as a model in arts education.
Stas is a regular participant of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra’s Arts in Community Education Program (ACE) and has introduced many young students through his presentations which always reflect his love of the instrument and his warm, engaging personality.
Stay said, “The entire concert I performed with Cory Pesaturo in in Kharkov, Ukraine last month has now been released. Once again, Sergey Neverov, thank you for the invitation and fine organization.” Stas and Cory presented a varied program highlighting the versatility of the piano accordion and the bayan.
Stas joined the Seattle Symphony Orchestra in January 2020 for the premiere of “Figaro Get’s a Divorce” orchestral Suite written by British-Russian composer Elena Langer and conducted by Maxim Emelyanchev.
“Just having accordion part written in to the orchestra score is way too cool and makes the orchestra sound completed!”, Stas said. “Figaro Gets a Divorce” is conceived as a sequel to Mozart’s 1786 opera Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) based on the 1778 play La Folle Journée, ou Le Mariage de Figaro, by Pierre Beaumarchais.
In December, Stas performed “Concerto #2” by American composer Anthony Galla-Rini with the Menomonee Falls Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Mike Kamenski at the Hamilton Art Center in Sussex, WI.
Stas will perform with the Nuremberg Symphony on April 25, 2020.
