Accomplished pianists to perform Jan. 21 at the St. Charles Public Library

The St. Charles Public Library’s Sunday Concert Series continues on Sunday, Jan. 21, with a special performance by the EStrella Piano Duo.

The duo, Elena Doubovitskaya and Svetlana Belsky, will take you on a journey with their new music program with a Spanish flair and side trips to France, Germany, and Russia.

Composers featured at this performance will be De Falla, Lecuona, Moszkowski, Ravel, Chaminade, Schumann, Rachmaninoff, and Stravinsky.

“Svetlana Belsky and Elena Doubovitskaya are superb pianists on their own; together as the EStrella Piano Duo, they are doubly superb,” raves John Puccio of Classical Candor.

In 2018, the duo was awarded a Global Music Award silver medal for their critically acclaimed CD, “Tales from the East,” featuring stories of adventure, magic, and romance by Russian composers.

Between the two, they have been heard throughout Europe, Asia, and the United States. Their concert credits include Carnegie (Weill) Hall, Kyiv Philharmonic Hall, Chicago Symphony Center, St. Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakoff Museum, Baptist University of Hong Kong, Ravinia, and Tanglewood Music Festivals, among many others.

The concert, part of the Sunday Concert Series, will begin at 2 p.m. at the library, 1 S. Sixth Ave.
