The Russian Chamber Arts Society’s concert “Pushkin in Music” was reviewed at FestivalDC.com. Faculty artist and director of the Russian Chamber Arts Society, Vera Danchenko-Stern was praised for her performance: “More often than not, in recitals for voice and piano, the listener’s attention gravitates towards the voice. However in rare cases, as when a pianist of Vera Danchenko’s stature is on stage with the singer, her mastery of the keyboard in tonal quality, coloration, dexterity and interpretive gift elevates the listening experience into a sublime balance of voice and instrumentation.”
