SPRINGVALE — Russian/American virtuosos Sergey Antonov and Ilya Kazantsev have performed in some of the world’s greatest concert halls including Moscow’s Rachmaninoff Hall and St. Petersburg’s Philharmonia Recital Hall.

On Saturday, Nov. 3 they will perform once again at the Sanford-Springvale Historical Museum in Springvale.  Both were child prodigies having entered Tchaikovsky State Conservatory in Moscow before the age of 10.

Sergey was a pupil of and toured Europe with the late legendary cellist Mstislav Rostropovich. He was one of the youngest cellists ever to win a gold medal at the International Tchaikovsky Competition.

Ilya’s greatest honor may have been winning first prize at the Nikolai Rubinstein International Competition in Paris. His debut recital at Carnegie Hall was sold out.

Their program this year will include Sonatas for Cello and Piano by Johannes Brahms and Cesar Franck and compositions by Carl Maria Von Weber and Claude Debussy.

Doors open at 6:45 p.m. with the concert starting at 7:30 p.m.

The concert will be performed at the Historical Museum, 505 Main St., Springvale.
