As part of our continued commitment to sharing exceptional classical music with our community, Boise State Public Radio is proud to once again partner with the Piatigorsky Foundation to present their annual concert series in Idaho. The Piatigorsky Foundation is dedicated to bringing live classical performances to nontraditional venues and audiences who may not otherwise have access.

Taking center stage this year is Evan Drachman, cellist, joined by Wan-Chi Su, piano accompanist.

Cellist Evan Drachman, Founder and Artistic Director of the Piatigorsky Foundation, has combined musical talent with artistic vision to create a rich and varied career. Mr. Drachman spends much of his time performing recitals, concerti and chamber music in the United States and abroad. As Artistic Director of the Piatigorsky Foundation, he has become one of this country’s most respected authorities on the presentation of live classical music to diverse audiences. The organization is named for Mr. Drachman’s grandfather, cellist Gregor Piatigorsky.
