Ilya Kazantsev, piano
Mr. Kazantsev, a fresh and exciting presence on the international music scene, has been praised by The Washington Post as “virtually flawless”. He has performed as recitalist and soloist with orchestra extensively in Russia and the United States, as well as appearing in Germany, Japan, Italy, France, Canada, Ukraine, Belarus and Slovenia. Among his many awards and honors, Ilya received the first prize at the Nikolai Rubinstein International Competition (France) as well as top prizes at the International Chopin Competition (Russia) and the World Piano Competition (USA).
Based in the United States since 2002, Mr. Kazantsev has joined Hermitage Piano Trio which has solidified its place as one of the world’s leading piano trios, garnering multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations and receiving both audience and press accolades for their performances that The Washington Post singled out for “such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.”.
Sergey Aniskov is an award-winning animation visionary and former Moscow Maly State Theater set designer, whose animated films have been featured in film festivals worldwide, including SIGGRAPH and the Sundance Film Festival.

His experience in children’s animation provides an additional layer of lighthearted whimsy to his projection works.
