Projects
Each concert program I curate is much more than an entertaining evening. It is a musical adventure. A journey into the depth of human connection and meaning explored through the magical language of music. Between the works featured I weave storytelling and musical insights that captivate any audience and foster a deeper understanding and enjoyment of the music. Below are some examples of previous or future programs, but every program is tailored to the audience so if you don’t see what you’re looking for let’s have a conversation and create the ideal program for you!
Celebrate the sound of America through the voices that shaped it. In this powerful and uplifting program, violinist Dr. Yonatan Grinberg and pianist Dr. Teodora Adzharova explore how immigrant composers and the children of immigrants transformed American music—from the patriotic brilliance of Sousa and the tango-infused fire of Piazzolla, to Copland’s open-hearted lyricism, Bernstein’s electrifying West Side Story, and the timeless melodies of Gershwin, Berlin, and more. Featuring beloved works like Stars and Stripes Forever, selections from Porgy and Bess, Blue Skies, and the iconic West Side Story Suite, this concert traces a vivid musical journey across cultures, generations, and genres. Join us for an evening that celebrates the creativity, resilience, and diversity at the heart of America’s musical identity.

Chamber Encounters is a dynamic concert series that reimagines the chamber music experience through bold, thoughtfully curated programs that connect great repertoire with powerful human stories. Directed by violinist Yonatan Grinberg, the series brings together outstanding musicians from the Baltimore–DC area for concerts that are immersive, intellectually engaging, and emotionally resonant. Each program is carefully designed around a unifying theme—often drawing on history, culture, and identity—to invite audiences into a deeper encounter with the music, without sacrificing artistry or accessibility. The result is a concert experience that feels both intimate and expansive: rigorously performed, creatively framed, and deeply meaningful for today’s audiences.
