Russian-born symphonic and opera conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya’s recent work has been hailed as “superb,” “expert,” and “coax[ing] every possible expressive note from the instrumentalists.” She serves as Artistic Director of Juventas New Music Ensemble and Music Director of Commonwealth Lyric Theater.

The Intelligencer has also registered great pleasures in the accomplishments of conductor and Artistic Director Lidiya Yankovskaya. Therefore we point to our readers Juventas’s Music in Motion, a journey through 100 years of music interpreted through theatrical puppetry, featuring established works from the last 100 years alongside three world premieres and a pre-show one-act comic opera. Performances take place on May 5th & 6th at A.R.T.’s Oberon, at 7:30 PM. More details are here .

Lidiya Yankovskaya: Musicologists generally mark the year that World War I began (1914) as the beginning of the Contemporary music era. With the […]
