</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><i>Moutouzkine performs Roldán and Caturla at Americas Society, 2016.</i></p> <p><strong>About the artist</strong></p> <p>In recognition of Russian-American pianist <a href="http://moutouzkine.com/about/" target="_blank">Alexandre Moutouzkine</a>’s early participation in the prestigious Van Cliburn International Competition, where he won the Special Award for Artistic Potential at age 19, the <em>Dallas Morning News</em> stated that Mr. Moutouzkine "played Brahms' Op. 117 Intermezzi more beautifully, more movingly, than I've ever heard them. At once sad, tender and noble, this was playing of heart-stopping intimacy and elegance." Since then, Mr. Moutouzkine went on to win top prizes in more than 20 international competitions, including the Naumburg, Cleveland, Montreal, New Orleans, Iturbi (Valencia), Maria Canals (Barcelona) and Arthur Rubinstein (Tel Aviv). He also won the Astral Artists' 2009 National Auditions. He has appeared as a soloist with the Berliner Philharmoniker, Brno Philharmonic Orchestra of the Czech Republic, Israel Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra and Radiotelevision Orchestra of Spain, among other orchestras around the world. Highlights of the upcoming season include Mr. Moutouzkine’s debut at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, return engagements at Florida’s Kravis Center and Miami Music Festival, and performances and master classes in Shanghai, Taipei, Halle, Madrid, Havana, Bogotá, and Moscow. Moutouzkine holds a Master’s degree and post-graduate degrees from Manhattan School of Music, where he studied with Solomon Mikowsky. He holds undergraduate degrees from the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hannover and Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Music Academy. Most recently Alexandre received an “Artist of the Season Award” from Chamber Music International in Dallas and a “Distinguished Alamni Award” from Manhattan School of Music, where he was appointed its faculty member in September 2013.  </p> <p><strong>Program</strong></p> <table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" style="width: 100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Juan Piñera (b. 1949)</td> <td>Estudio de concierto en Fa Mayor</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Amadeo Roldán Gardes (1900-1939)</td> <td>Mulato</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alejandro García Caturla (1906-1940)</td> <td>Comparsa</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Leo Brouwer (b. 1939)</td> <td>Boceto no. 4 "Acosta Leon"</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Guido López Gavilán (b. 1944)</td> <td>Toque</td> </tr> <tr> <td>J.
