Not-So-Silent Sundays

Original Scores and Live Music From Dr. Yakov Gubanov

Welcome, through June-July, for 7 pm Sunday evening screenings of great classics from the silent era, featuring live original piano scores by the HFA’s resident musical consultant, Yakov Gubanov. Dr. Gubanov, born in Kiev, the Ukraine, was a piano prodigy who, in Moscow, was awarded private lessons in composition with Dmitri Shostakovich. Gubanov wrote his doctoral dissertation on the harmony of Shostakovitch’s music, followed by a teaching career at the Kiev Conservatory and tours of Eastern Europe as a concert pianist. He also taught in Israel and, in Germany, at the Franz Liszt Musical Academy, before arriving to live in the Boston area.
