The “Pleasure of Your Company” music series will welcome clarinetist Vladimir Goltsman and pianist Dmitry Kirichenko on Sunday, May 19, at 2:30 p.m. at the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library Center. Join us for a delightful afternoon of music for clarinet and piano including works from the Baroque through Romantic eras and beyond. A native of Russia, Vladimir Goltsman was trained at the Gnessin Music Institute of Moscow, where he studied with with the renowned Maestro, Professor Ivan Mozgovenko. He was a soloist for the Theater of Experimental Music in Moscow and a member of the Soloist Ensemble of “Moscow Sinfonieta.” He performed as soloist and principal clarinet of the Orquestra de Baja California, Mexico and with the San Diego Chamber Orchestra. A versatile musician, he has also played with the Wayne Foster Music and Entertainment orchestra/band and served on the faculty of The Bishop’s School, where he mentored the school orchestra and jazz band. Well loved by Scripps Ranch audiences, Dmitry Kirichenko is a graduate of the Moscow and Odessa Conservatories. He has performed throughout western and eastern Europe and the San Diego area. His playing, described by Paris music critic Claude Taelman as “warm sensitivity heightened by his delicate touch and great technical mastery,” is a perfect match for the Library’s fine Schimmel piano. There is no charge for the concert, which is sponsored by the Scripps Ranch Friends of the Library, although donations are appreciated. Masks are recommended but not required at this time. Miramar Ranch Library Center is located at 10301 Scripps Lake Drive. It should be noted that due to a parking lot expansion project, onsite parking is currently somewhat limited. Overflow parking is available on Meanley Drive off Scripps Ranch Blvd., from which the library can be easily accessed via a scenic, paved walkway (map and directions: www.srfol.org/lib-loc-hours.htm).
