We have a spectacular performance from Samvrit, playing "Barcarolle" (G minor) by Tchaikovsky. This piece is one of twelve short character pieces from Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons." Samvrit's melodies cross between both emotions, sorrow and hope, just as the piece is written to convey. Samvrit is a student of Ms. Yelena. The following epigraph was made for this piece (translated from Russian): No. 6. Barcarolle (June): “Let us go to the shore; There the waves will kiss our legs. With mysterious sadness The stars will shine down on us.” — Aleksey Pleshcheyev Samvrit's very successful and determined in many areas in his life, and he even earned a State Honor in a certification exam recently. Samvrit's an awesome young man and we're thrilled to preset to you this submission.
