Phillip Kawin | September 30, 1956 – September 9, 2021

The outpouring of love and grief for Phillip in the hours since his death yesterday says everything about who he was. Kind, generous, tireless, dedicated, and a fierce advocate for his friends and students.

On October 1, 2015, Phillip Kawin's all Schubert CD on the Master Performers record label was launched at New York's Steinway Hall (the temporary one after 57th closed). Here he played Robert Schumann's Fantasiestücke op. 12 no.1 "Des Abends" and thanked all those who had helped him.

The Drozdoff Society, George P. Borisov, and I are profoundly shocked and grieved to learn of the passing today of Phillip Kawin, one of our oldest and dearest friends. Phillip was an incredibly kind and generous man, always encouraging, and was beloved by his students. In the concerts where we presented Phillip in New Haven and Stamford, the venues were packed over capacity because his devoted students came from as far away as Canada to hear him.

I only met Phillip 7 years ago, but he left an indelible impression and I will treasure my memories of him. He was an incredible musician, but more importantly to me, he was a good man.

This photo was from his performance at Lyric Hall Theater in New Haven, October 2016. The man standing to Phillip's left is his father, who also passed away this year. May they both rest in peace.

Thank you, Phillip. Bless you.

Vladimir Drozdoff 'Poème de la jeunesse' - Midnight Pieces, Ep.38 by Asiya Korepanova

*********ANNOUNCING A NEW ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE*********

As many of you know, The Drozdoff Society has a mission to bring forth the compositions of Vladimir N. Drozdoff––in publication, performance, and pedagogy––and to support the careers of the people who help us in our mission. Our roster of Artists-in-Residence has grown over the years. To date:

Mark S. Doss | voice
Mike Ford | publication, preservation
Hanna Golodinskii | voice
Vyacheslav Gryaznov | piano, publication, composition, recording
Karen Hakobyan | composition, piano, pedagogy
Daria Kiseleva | piano
Nicolas Namoradze | composition, piano, pedagogy
Reed Tetzloff | piano, writing

Today, it gives me and George Borisov great pleasure to add Asiya Korepanova to our family of Artists in Residence. Asiya has taken an independent interest in Drozdoff's works, and recorded a performance of his Poème de la jeunesse last year in her YouTube series, MIDNIGHT PIECES; it is posted below for you to hear. #MidnightPieces

Asiya a phenomenal musician, concert pianist, and human being. As with all the Artists-in-Residence whom The Drozdoff Society works with and supports, she is committed to artistic integrity, to working with and supporting her fellow musicians, and is always striving to do more and do better.

Asiya Korepanova is a transcriber whose Rachmaninoff Cello Sonata transcription invites requests for copies all the time. She is premiering another new transcription in her July 7 performance for Pegasus: The Orchestra. She is tireless in her creativity, and we welcome Asiya with open arms and best wishes.

Asiya Korepanova

A new recording of Drozdoff from the remarkable Russian concert pianist, Asiya Korepanova.

Brilliant pianist, inspiring teacher and a composer, whose music is truly heart-wrenching, Vladimir Drozdoff (1882-1960) still needs many a performer to show his unique gift to the world. This marvelous artwork of sound colors, 'Poème de la jeunesse' (‘Youth poem’), is one of the dozens of piano miniatures this author of a massive amount of piano music has written. I am looking forward to the works of his - sonatas, preludes, etudes and so much more - to enter my repertoire, and I hope you enjoy this one - the first one!
