Spanish Young Music Talents: Alexander Beliakov in New York

As part of the “Spanish Young Music Talents program,” Spanish pianist Alexander Beliakov de Felipe performs a recital in New York in collaboration with NYU’s Espacio de Culturas at the King Juan Carlos Center.

Spanish Young Music Talents (SYMT) is the new program of the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, D.C. SYMT has been envisioned to enhance and support Spanish young musicians’ careers, in collaboration with U.S. music schools and universities at a higher level (bachelor and graduate students orchestras), offering them an experience abroad.

SYMT aims to offer young musicians not only a concert or recital in the U.S., but a complete experience with complementary activities such as masterclasses, talks, conferences, etc. to broaden their opportunities and contacts. All visiting musicians are winners of the Juventudes Musicales de España national award and under 33 years old.

Emerging Spanish pianist Alexander Beliakov de Felipe, winner of multiple international competitions and, most recently, the Concurso de Juventudes Musicales de España, presents a program of works by Russian masters, alongside Chopin’s Fourth Ballade.
