Blackstone Artists Management Promotes Pianists

By Joyce Tucker


Blackstone Artists Management is determined to keep working with the artists it represents. There is a great deal of excitement being generated by two of its talents. Hung-Kuan Chen and Victor Stanislavsky are a pair of pianists that have been well received by audiences world wide.

There is enthusiastic response to Mr. Stanislavsky's work from audiences throughout Europe and also Asia. He had done dates recently in such countries as Russia, China, France, and Germany. He has performed as a soloist in these engagements, but works frequently with orchestras as well. His performances in the past have had to be structured to meet the obligations his service in the Israeli armed forces demanded.

A Ukrainian, Victor relocated with his family to Israel in childhood and took up playing the piano. Awards soon followed. He got a bachelors and a masters in the field of music from Tel Aviv universities.

Mr. Chen was born in Taiwan, but left at an early age for Germany. The Avery Fisher Foundation awarded him a scholarship to pursue his study of piano. It soon paid off in the awarding of a medal from the foundation set up to honor Arthur Rubenstein.

This man has won several prestigious competition such as those sponsored by Geza Anda and the Busoni group. Queen Elizabeth has presented him with a medal as has the city of Montreal. He toured with the Young Concert Artists. Currently the man heads two departments dedicated to piano at Shanghai conservatories. This is not his first assignment with academia. He was a faculty member at Boston University before this and at the same time taught at a New England conservatory as well as another in Canada.

Chen is familiar to audiences all over the world. He plays dates all over Asia, the Americas, and throughout Europe. He works with famed orchestras in Shanghai, Israel, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Houston, Baltimore, and San Francisco. Among the conductors he has been privileged to work with are Andrew Parrett, George Cleve, Sui Lan, Hans Graf, and Christoph Eschenbach. Some of the major dates that are coming up for him will be one at Carnegie Hall in New York, as well as in Boston, and San Francisco. Overseas dates include some in Shanghai and other large cities throughout the world.

Blackstone Artist Management holds itself lucky to be able to promote these two excellent pianists. They are a tribute to the results that can come from hard work. They will be pleasing audiences around the world for many years to come. The agency will be at their side providing what help may be in order.
