DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nTickets are available through the Artis—Naples box 
 office\nPhone: 239-597-1900\n\n\n\n\nKonstantin Soukhovetski is a pianist
 \, composer\, and educator recognized for his distinctive concert programm
 ing and multimedia performances. A laureate of 17 international competitio
 ns\, he has appeared at major venues including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln C
 enter\, Wigmore Hall\, and The Louvre\, performing in recital and with o
 rchestras throughout the United States and Europe. Recent highlights inclu
 de a tour of Scotland with Absolute Classics and appearances at PianoFête
  in Vashon\, Washington.\n\nAs Director of Education and Community Engagem
 ent at Grand Piano Series\, Konstantin curates the series’ Narrative M
 usicales—multimedia programs that combine live music\, storytelling\, an
 d visual elements—and oversees Grand Piano Series's educational and outr
 each initiatives with schools and seniors in Lee and Collier counties.\n\n
 Beyond the piano\, his work includes composition\, libretti\, and interdis

 stantin has been a resident of Naples\, FL\, since 2024.\n\n\n\n\n\nProgra
 m\nExpect the unexpected.\nIn this Narrative Musicale\, Konstantin Soukho
 vetski traces Beethoven’s surprising influence on the American musical 
 imagination — from Scott Joplin’s ragtime to the birth of boogie-woog
 ie. How does a rhythm\, a gesture or a harmonic cadence travel across the 
 Atlantic and reappear a century later in an entirely new world? You’ll f
 ind out.\nImprovisation abounds as this multimedia performance reveals hid
 den musical connections across time\, geography and culture. American musi
 c emerges as a quintessential expression of the New World — vibrant\, mu
 lticultural\, rebellious and original — while the Old World reveals itse
 lf as an unexpected laboratory for musical disruption.\nJoplin — Maple 
 Leaf Rag\nJoplin — The Cascades\nClarence “Pine Top” Smith — Boo
 gie Woogie\nBeethoven — Piano Sonata No. 32 in C Minor\, Op. 111\n\n\n\n
