Back To Beethoven - Piano Duo Chipak & Kushnir Come To Aventura

The promotion and expansion of a two-piano repertoire continued with the commissioning of works from accomplished composers who have won the Pulitzer Prize, Emmy, Grammy and Academy Awards, including John Corigliano, William Bolcom, Michel Legrand, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Chucho Valdés.

After presenting concerts on some of the world’s most esteemed stages from New York to Amsterdam, Dranoff 2 Piano Fusion redirected itself toward a local, multi-cultural approach to engage audiences through innovative performances countywide that feature piano duos in every musical style and frequently joined by musicians from Europe, South America, Africa and the Caribbean. Its annual core programming includes Classical Classics, Latin 2 Piano and West African Beats.

​Since 2004, the organization has partnered with Miami Dade County Public Schools to develop and implement PIANO SLAM, a transformational performance program for youth that uses music to enhance core subject learning, such as English, math and science, in roughly two dozen Title 1 schools.

Through this program, Dranoff has also brought live classical music performances to more than 80,000 middle and high school students. Well over 100,000 students have participated in PIANO SLAM programs overall.

Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in a two-piano arrangement by Franz Liszt performed by internationally celebrated Ukrainian classical stars Olha Chipak and Oleksiy Kushnir with percussion accompaniment will be performed at The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center Sunday, November 24th at 4:00 p.m.
