Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | We’ve been doing concerts for the past two weekends with a Russian pianist named Olga Kern. Former winner of the prestigious Van Cliburn piano competition and one of only three people in the world known to have all of Rachmaninoff’s concertos in their performance repertoire. She is the most ferocious and powerful pianist I’ve ever seen or heard. Even if you’re not into classical music, its worth catching her concert if she comes to your town. She's also beautiful. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | She has a number of CDs available which should be available on the net. I sing with the Symphony Chorus which was also on the programs. Singing Rachmaninoff in Russian was ridiculously difficult. |
