The St. PCP has the honor of introducing Gilbert Kalish to its St. Petersburg audience, with a repeat performance of Slonimsky's Jewish Rhapsody. The St. PCP's first performance of the work with Mr. Kalish was a resounding success at the 2010 Symphony Space Wall-to-Wall "Behind the Wall" festival in New York City. The New York Times called the St. PCP's performances "impressive... powerful... blazing..." and "polished". Read Review
Mr. Kalish's discography of some 100 recordings encompasses classical repertory, 20th Century masterworks and new compositions. Of special note are his solo recordings of Charles Ives' Concord Sonata and Sonatas of Joseph Haydn, and immense discography of vocal music with Jan De Gaetani and landmarks of the 20th Century by composers such as Carter, Crumb, Shapey and Schoenberg. In 1995, he was presented with the Paul Fromm Award by the University of Chicago Music Department for distinguished service to the music of our time.
