The Mendocino Setlist: Chamber music festival wraps up in Gualala with pianist Ilya Yakushev and this week’s live music calendar

MENDOCINO Co., 4/3/22 – Spring sunshine is here and so is another week of live music throughout Mendocino County. This week, the 2022-23 Chamber Music Series at Gualala Arts wraps up with its final performance of the season when internationally acclaimed Russian pianist Ilya Yakushev performs. 

Yakushev, who resides in New York City, performs classical works by Bach, Prokofiev, Liszt, Chopin and others. In 1998, he was given the Award for Excellence in Performance by the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation. In 2005, he won the World Piano Competition in Cincinnati. He’s performed at Carnegie Hall, San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall, and with the BBC Concert Orchestra, Boston Pops, Wisconsin Philharmonic and others. The San Francisco Chronicle described his performance at Davies Symphony Hall as “astonishing.” His performance will be something to remember, especially in such an intimate venue as the Gualala Arts Center. Ilya Yakushev performs at the Gualala Arts Center on Saturday, April 8. Tickets are on sale here.
