Svetlana Sigida, musicologist on the faculty at the Moscow Conservatory, sent me some pictures from the December 3 performances of my music at the Conservatory. First, Ekaterina Kichigina (soprano) and Natasha Cherkasova (piano), who performed two of the songs from my cycle Holy the Firm:

Ms. Cherkasova also played my set of piano pieces, Pure Contraption, Absolute Gift:

Many thanks to both musicians, and to Professor Sigida who put in a tremendous amount of effort to make this concert happen.
