The “Pleasure of Your Company” music series welcomes back the Grigorian-Gubenko Piano Duo on Sunday, March 12, at 2:30 p.m. at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center. Join us for an “Afternoon in Paris” featuring a delightful program of piano four-hands music by French composers. Comprised of Georgian-born Anna Grigorian and Ukranian-born Natasha Gubenko, the award winning Grigorian-Gubenko Piano Duo was formed in 2016. Prior to joining their talents as duet artists, both pianists have performed as soloists in the United States and internationally. Since then, the duo has been featured numerous times at the MTAC conventions, and continues to perform extensively at various professional and community functions. Their repertoire spans Bach to Brahms, Debussy and Piazzola, played on one or two pianos. Their most recent performances include Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, The Athenaeum in La Jolla, and McKinney Theater in Orange County. In addition to performing, both pianists lead busy teaching careers, conduct masterclasses, serve as adjudicators, and hold leadership positions in state and national professional music teachers associations. There is no charge for the concert, which is sponsored by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library, although donations are appreciated. Masks are required for all audience members regardless of immunization status. Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center is located at 10301 Scripps Lake Drive near Miramar Lake.

“Hollywoodland” pays homage to the undeniable influence of Hollywood on culture and music. This program traces the influence of the “Hollywood” sound on Rachmaninoff’s iconic Symphonic Dances, the jazz obsession of Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin, the romantic minimalism of Polina Nazaykinskaya’s cinematic “Nostalgia,” and the Oscar-nominated score by Hans Zimmer, The Interstellar. These diverse composers have in common the influence of the uniquely American art forms of jazz and minimalism, while their musical narratives are guided by principles of motion picture storytelling. The show will be narrated by Jacopo and Konstantin with a moderated Q&A at the end. Date | Friday, October 14 at 8 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here! Ticket prices ranging from $25.50 to $58.
