Artists' profile:

 

Ms Anna Konoplova

 

An award-winning vioinist from Ukraine, Ms Anna entered the music college in Donetsk and received the special president scholarship award and graduated a diploma degree with honour. She pursued further music studies at the Donetsk State Music Academy by Sergey Prokofiev and obtained a bachelor degree with honour and master’s degree in music.

 

Upon graduating from the Music Academy, Ms Anna was invited to participate in Woman National Chamber Orchestra of Ukraine for tour in Italy.

She had an extensive performing career which includes performing in more than 30 countries in a string quartet, string trio, violin – piano duo and electric string contemporary trio. She collaborated with different music groups touring different destinations in a cruise ship as she worked with Holland America, Celebrity and Carnival cruise line.

 

Mr Peter Seivewright

 

Mr Peter Seivewright was born in Skipton, England, in 1954. His first advanced music studies were at Oxford and following graduation he spent three years at the Manchester-based Royal Northern College of Music under Ryszard Bakst. During his student year, Mr Seivewright achieved critical acclaim for his performance of the Richard Rodney Bennett Piano Concerto with an RNCM student orchestra.

 

Mr Seivewright gradually built his reputation, touring the U.K. and Europe, Asia and the Americas. By the mid-90's, Mr Seivewright was internationally known, and in 1997-1998 he recorded Nielsen keyboard works for Naxos.

 

He made his Russian debut in 2003 with the Arkhangelsk Philharmonic, and in 2006, he appeared in both Beijing , China (performing Tchaikovsky's first concerto) and Calcutta, India (performing Bach in D minor Concerto). In the new century, Mr Seivewright's recordings have appeared with greater frequency, not least becuase the Galuppi cycle is projected to run in 10 discs. He was the first pianist to tackle all 90 sonatas by Baldassare Galuppi, a near-contemporary and stylistic cousin on Domenico Scarlatti, and Mr Seivewright is one of the most important artists dedicated to championing piano works of lesser known and contemporary composers.

 

Ms Anna and Mr Peter are faculty members of Phuket School of Music.
