About PianoFête: Vashon Center for the Arts is proud to introduce a new classical summer piano series – PianoFête – presenting four dazzling and unique concert experiences featuring acclaimed pianists Vyacheslav Gryaznov, Katya Kramer-Lapin, and Konstantin Soukhovetski, with accompanying musicians from Vashon Maury Chamber Orchestra. Conceived and curated by artist-in-residence Vyacheslav "Slava" Gryaznov, this series will be the first time VCA's Katherine L. White Hall will host two concert grand pianos on stage to accommodate the mastery of duo and four-hand playing compositions ranging from Rachmaninoff to Ravel.

About Vyacheslav "Slava" Gryaznov, piano

Russian concert pianist Vyacheslav Gryaznov, arranger and composer, is the author of more than 40 concert arrangements. He has gained a reputation as one of the most remarkable young arrangers working today. In 2014, Gryaznov signed a publishing contract with Schott Music, the youngest Russian in their history to do so. He graduated with honors from the Central Music School of the Moscow State Conservatory where he studied with Professor Manana Kandelaki. He proceeded with undergraduate studies at the Moscow Conservatory (class of Professor Yuri Slesarev), once again completing his degree with honors. He continued at the Moscow Conservatory as a postgraduate student and was on the teaching faculty of the Moscow Conservatory's Piano Department. In 2018 he completed Yale University's Artist Diploma program under the Yale School of Music's Professor Boris Berman.
