Giorgi Latso and Anna Fedorova-Latso will perform multiple four-hand piano duos, including local composer J. GIARRUSSO’S ‘Serenade’ for Piano, Four Hands, Op. 66

The CV Philharmonic Society and the Palm Springs Cultural Center are pleased to announce an exceptional performance by the famed Husband and Wife Piano Duo, Giorgi, and Anna Fedorova-Latso, on April 4, 2023, at 7 pm at the Palm Springs Cultural Center. The evening will feature piano duets composed and arranged for four hands on one piano. Attendees are encouraged to come early and socialize with fellow chamber music enthusiasts. General Admission tickets are $20 and can be purchased on Eventbrite or at the Palm Springs Cultural Center Box Office during business hours from 4 - 8 pm. The Palm Springs Cultural Center is at 2300 E. Baristo Rd, Palm Springs, CA 92262.

The Latso’s Piano Duo was enthusiastically formed in 2014 by pianist Giorgi Latso and his wife, Anna Fedorova-Latso. Since then, their interpretations have showcased true passion, deep maturity, and sensitivity. They have been performing four-hand piano recitals and concertos for two pianos worldwide as a piano duo. They have appeared at musical centers, festivals, and scholarly conferences in Europe, Russia, America, and Asia. The Latsos is a favorite among many concert organizers and promoters, with the Asia Pacific Press calling their performances “thrilling and flamboyant,” and the MTNA State Conference hails their "intelligence, liveliness, and enormous charm.’'

“We are thrilled to be hosting such high-caliber musicians as part of our Chamber Series,” said Nunzio Sisto, Executive Director of the CV Philharmonic Society. 

The pianists have developed a close relationship with American composer Joe Giarrusso, a Palm Springs resident, who created and dedicated some four-hand pieces, especially for them, including  ‘Serenade’ for Piano, Four Hands, Op. 66, which will be performed at the concert. Other works to be performed include Felix Mendelsssohn’s “Variations for Piano, Four Hands” and a rousing arrangement by Nunzio Sisto of John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever.” 

The CV Philharmonic Society Chamber Series is a bi-weekly subscription program held at the Palm Springs Cultural Center on select Tuesday evenings. The series features local and national talent. A limited number of subscriptions are available at $30 monthly (two shows). Alternatively, individual tickets can be purchased for $20 a show.
