Russian pianist comes to A&M
By Jennifer Gressett
Thc Battalion
The discovery of the 1989 Van
Cliburn International Piano Com
petition will be the spotlight of
tonight's performance in Rudder
Theatre.
University Chamber Concerts
presents Russian pianist Alexan
der Shtarkman, a performer who
has captured audiences in his
tours throughout the former Sovi
et Union, Europe and the United
States.
Shtarkman's performance,
which is funded by the Texas
Commission on the Arts and the
Bryan-College Station Music
Teachers Association, will include
works by Beethoven, Brahms,
Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky.
Martin Bernheimer, of the Los
Angeles Times, said Shtarkman,
27, "plays the piano with all the
strength, flash and eagerness that
his age would suggest. He also
plays with the sensitivity and
mellow refinement one associates
with certain grand old men of the
Shtarkman
keyboard."
Born in Moscow, Shtarkman is
the son of Naum Shtarkman, who
placed third in the 1958
Tchaikovsky International Com
petition, the year Van Cliburn
took first prize.
After his debut at age 11,
Shtarkman seemed to continue
along a path that might make his
father proud. He attended the
Moscow College of Music, and in
1985, he won first prize at the na
tional competition in Riga.
He later placed sixth at the
1988 International Competition of
Crown Princess Sonja in Oslo,
Norway, and in 1991 Shtarkman
once again took first prize in the
Taipei International Piano Com
petition.
When he finally reached the
Van Cliburn competition, where
he was the major prizewinner, he
was only 22 years old.
"Applause seems to embarrass
him," Bernheimer said. "He
looks frail, almost giving the im
pression of a wimp. Then he
plays! It was scary. It was won
derful!"
Shtarkman's performance will
begin at 8 p.m. in Rudder Theatre.
Tickets at the MSC Box Office are
$8 for adults and $5 for senior citi
zens. For more information, call
845-1234.

Droleskey enjoys watching all the different cul
tures and people come together to discover things
about each other that surprise them.
It's just as exciting for international students to
learn about each other's cultures, Droleskey said, as
it is for them to explain their culture to United
States citizens.
"A lot of students group the international stu
dents together as though they're all one group,"
she said, "and they aren't. They are tremendously
diverse groups of people."
Droleskey said she considers International Week
to be like a "service event" because international
students get a chance to explain their culture to oth
er students.
International students began preparing for Inter
national Week last fall. They returned from Christ
mas break with costumes and artifacts. Money
raised throughout the year, combined with ticket
sales from the talent show and international buffet,
fund International Week each year.
The International Student Association is the um
brella organization for 55 international student
clubs. Proceeds from items sold at the booths will
benefit UNICEF. Although ISA defrays some of In
ternational Week's costs to the individual groups,
students also dip into their own pockets. Droleskey
said ISA members consider International Week to
be a valid way to spend their money.
