Info:
Bay Area composer-pianist Gregory Taboloff makes his San Francisco debut orchestral appearance as soloist with the Taboloff Philharmonic performing his Piano Concerto No. 1 "The Mystic" alongside Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37. Conductor David Ramadanoff will lead an orchestra of professional musicians from across the Bay Area in a program that also features the Overture to Mozart's The Magic Flute.
Evoking the spirit of the works of great Russian romantics, Taboloff's Piano Concerto No. 1 "The Mystic" draws inspiration from Walt Whitman's poem The Mystic Trumpeter and a painting by his wife, Ann Marie Taboloff, also entitled The Mystic. Originally given the title of "The Russian," the concerto received its world premiere at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek in 2000 to great success with the East Bay Times praising it as "a powerful, moving work." Over the subsequent years, the work was revised and evolved to depict Whitman's text with the newly revised version "The Mystic" premiering in 2017 at the Lesher Center for the Arts under the baton of David Ramadanoff.
Hailed by The New York Times for his "irrepressible energy, poetry and genuine introspection," Gregory Taboloff has performed throughout the world. Since his 1987 orchestral debut with the Oakland Symphony, Taboloff has gone on to perform with numerous Bay Area orchestras including the California Symphony, Diablo Symphony and the Contra Costa Symphony, while representing the United States at such prestigious international competitions as Moscow's Tchaikovsky Competition and the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. As a composer, Taboloff studied with John Adams and Elinor Armor at the San Francisco Conservatory and has since written and performed numerous fantasies for solo piano as well as an overture for full orchestra entitled "Dante and Beatric" inspired by Dante's literary masterpiece "La Vita Nuova."
