Russian born Irina Lyakhovskay is to play Grieg’s Piano concerto with the Worcester Philharmonic Orchestra, in Pershore |Abbey.
After graduating from St Petersburg Conservatoire, Irina came to study in London In 2000. She won the TCM Association’s Soloist Competition, and has since given many performances at leading international venues across Europe and the UK. She has appeared on BBC radio and television.
A spokesman said: "Irina loves living in the UK and also enjoys the warmer weather after life in St Petersburg! However, in order to attend a rehearsal for this concert, she didn’t enjoy the detours and extra time she had to take due to the current flooding around Worcester."
Recently, Irina has taken up horse riding - a lifelong dream ever since reading The Three Musketeers as a child. She now rides regularly in the Black Mountains in Wales.
The date for the diary is March 7, at 2.30pm.
