Harmony In the Hills presents Anastasia Rizikov

Canadian pianist Anastasia Rizikov is a remarkably poised and precocious fourteen-year-old who is already showing signs of being "one to watch."

She recently gave two performances of Kabalevsky's Piano Concerto No. 3 with the International Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert Debbaut in Sarnia, Ontario, and in Port Huron, Michigan.

In 2009, she performed as guest soloist with the Northwest Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Michael Holian, and in 2010 with the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra in Michigan, conducted by Nan Washburn, in performances of Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Minor.
