Born in Moscow in 1952\, Mr. Feltsman debuted with the Moscow Philharmonic at age 11. In 1969\, he entered the Moscow Tchaikovsky State Conservatory of Music to study piano under the guidance of Professor Jacob Flier. In 1979\, because of his growing discontent with the restrictions on artistic freedom under the Soviet regime\, Mr. Feltsman signaled his intention to emigrate by applying for an exit visa. In response\, he was immediately banned from performing in public and his recordings were suppressed. After eight years of virtual artistic exile\, he was finally granted permission to leave the Soviet Union. Upon his arrival in the United States in 1987\, Mr. Feltsman was warmly greeted at the White House\, where he performed his first recital in North America. That same year\, his debut at Carnegie Hall established him as a major pianist on the American and international scene. He has now appeared with all the major American orchestras and on the most prestigious musical stages and festivals worldwide. \nAbout Salvador Brotons\nMaestro Salvador Brotons returns to Vancouver for his 29th season as Artistic Director and Conductor of the VSO.
