About Alexander Malofeev
The young “Russian genius” (Corriere della Sera) came to international prominence when, in 2014, he won the International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians at age thirteen. “Contrary to what could be expected of a youngster…he demonstrated not only high technical accuracy but also an incredible maturity. Crystal clear sounds and perfect balance revealed his exceptional ability” (Amadeus). Malofeev has quickly established himself as one of the most prominent pianists of his generation. His performances have garnered high praise from critics, with publications such as Der Standard declaring his debut at the Musikverein as a “world piano revolution.”
For the 2023-2024 season, highlights include Malofeev’s return to the Bournemouth Symphony for a multi-concert residency, a solo tour in China, and a European tour with Filarmonica della Scala and Riccardo Chailly, as well as performances at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Munich Isarphilharmonie, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, and Carnegie Hall in New York. He continues to perform with the best orchestras: the National Symphony Orchestra, Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Frankfurt Radio Orchestra, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra under Kent Nagano, and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under Marin Alsop, among many others.
Maestro Riccardo Chailly said about the pianist: “I first heard Malofeev when Valery Gergiev performed with him at the Teatro alla Scala…He was only 14, and he amazed me with his talent. Because that is not just a child prodigy – he is very young, but already possesses depth and technical abilities, and also musical and mnemonic, which makes him an excellent interpreter of the third concerto of Rachmaninoff, which is a problem for many pianists in the world.” (Corriere della Sera).
Alexander was born in Moscow in October 2001. Now residing in Berlin, he continues to give concerts in Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) – where he opened the 30th anniversary concert of the renowned Meester Pianists series – Teatro alla Scala (Milan), Musikverein Wien, Kurhaus Wiesbaden (Germany), Alte Oper Frankfurt (Germany), Munich Herkulessaal (Germany), Tanglewood (USA), Philharmonie de Paris, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Theater of the Champs-Élysées (France), Auditorium Parco della Musica in Roma and Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari (Italy), Queensland Performing Arts Centre (Australia), Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, Bunka Kaikan Theatre in Tokyo, Seoul Art Center, Shanghai Oriental Art Center, National Centre for the Performing Arts (Beijing), and the Royal Opera House Muscat in Oman.
Over the years, he has performed with renowned orchestras such as the Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, RAI National Symphony Orchestra, Korean Symphony Orchestra, Verbier Festival Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lille, and many others.
Alexander Malofeev regularly appears with the most distinguished conductors onstage today, including Riccardo Chailly, Mikhail Pletnev, Myung-Whun Chung, Charles Dutoit, Michael Tilson Thomas, JoAnn Falletta, Alain Altinoglu, Susanna Mälkki, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Lionel Bringuier, Alondra de la Parra, Kazuki Yamada, Vasily Petrenko, Juraj Valcuha, Kirill Karabits, Andris Poga, Fabio Luisi, and others.
Malofeev was a guest of world-famous music festivals and series such as Verbier Festival, International de Piano de La Roque d’Anthéron Festival, Rheingau Music Festival (Germany), Tanglewood Music Festival and Aspen Music Festival (USA), Tsinandali Festival (Georgia), Master Pianist Series (Amsterdam), and the Celebrity Series of Boston.
In addition to his first prize at the Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, he has won numerous awards and prizes at international competitions and festivals, including the Grand Prix of the International Competition for Young Pianists Grand Piano Competition, and the Premio Giovane Talento Musicale dell’anno 2017 (Best Young Musician of 2017). Also in 2017, Alexander became the first Young Yamaha Artist.

Run time: 2 hours 15 minutes including an intermission.

Successful businessman Joe Keller reckons with things he did to survive during the conflict, whilst he and his family come to terms with the loss of a son. The play has stood the test of time, lauded as a state of the nation play on its premiere, and becoming a dangerously relevant allegory today. All My Sons will also star, stage and screen actor (and Buffalo native), Buffalo’s Own – Sean Cullen!

Just Buffalo Literary Center presents
BABEL featuring Michelle Zauner
Thursday, November 9, 2023
8:00 pm
Doors open & VIP Patron Reception at 7:00 p.m.
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Join Just Buffalo Literary Center for an evening with bestselling author and indie rock musician Michelle Zauner who will move audiences with her reflections on family, food, grief, and endurance from her touching memoir, Crying in H Mart.
Season Subscriptions include a ticket for all (4) of Just Buffalo Literary Center’s BABEL 2023-24 events.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Musician, author, and director MICHELLE ZAUNER is best known as the frontwoman for her acclaimed indie pop band, Japanese Breakfast, and her bestselling memoir, Crying in H Mart. Named a TIME 100 Most Influential Person, she has won acclaim from major music outlets around the world for releases like Psychopomp (2016) and Soft Sounds from Another Planet (2017).
When Zauner was 25, her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Zauner moved home to become her mother’s caretaker, embarking on a journey that would force a reckoning with her identity and eventually a reclamation of the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her. Zauner shares her story of family, food, grief, and self-discovery.
ABOUT THE BOOK
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother’s particular, high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother’s tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.
It was her mother’s diagnosis of terminal cancer, when Michelle was twenty-five, that forced a reckoning with her identity and brought her to reclaim the gifts of taste, language, and history her mother had given her.

Doug An Inter-Media Enjambment
2023-11-10 08:00 - 2024-04-28 20:00 | Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo, NY, 14222, United States
Doug
An Inter-Media Enjambment
Nov 10, 2023 – Apr 28, 2024
Doug is a Video and Sound Installation by Bufffluxus, an ensemble composed of musicians, vocalists and artists focused on exploring and developing the ideas and long and short forms proposed by the New Music, Fluxus and Dada art movements. Doug can best be described as an Inter-Media Enjambment (in literature a continuation of a sentence or idea without interruption) that was created using various methods of Indeterminacy (the act of relying on elements of chance and interpretation where aspects of the work are left open to the interpreter’s free choice.)
The story of Doug is a nostalgic fantasy concerning a pet rodent that was purchased by well-meaning parents to teach their children how to be responsible and care for others. As often happens, there is a break in communication and Doug’s cage is left open. Being of the age where curiosity makes one less aware of their environment, Doug wanders in search of comfort in matters of the heart. He quickly learns his pursuits are best served by relying on indeterminacy and an enjambment of ideas and disciplines. His attraction to chance, abstraction and aspirational thought lead to a variety of emotional adventures that can be thought of as both provocative and ridiculous at the same time. Doug finds himself in a world of inter-media where indeterminacy and predetermined destination has led him to a nostalgic fantasy where he discovers aliens living in Target stores. Surviving on milkshakes and treacherous plants Doug lives in a world of thought whose story of abstraction are indiscernible to the audience.
Text for Doug is by Michael Basinski, with video and animations by Andrew Deutsch and music by Don Metz. Collaborators created work independently which was jammed together during an editing process. Performers include violinist David Adamczyk, guitarist Sonny Baker, vocalist Michael Basinski , bassist David Benders, guitarist Don Metz, percussionist John Smigielski and vocalists Kristen Smigielski and Kevin Thurston.

Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band
Three time BMA nominee’s The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band are “the greatest front-porch blues band in the world.” They are led by Reverend Peyton, who most consider to be the premier finger picker playing today.
He has earned a reputation as both a singularly compelling performer and a persuasive evangelist for the rootsy, country blues styles that captured his imagination early in life and inspired him and his band to make pilgrimages to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study under such blues masters as T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David “Honeyboy” Edwards.
Their latest record Dance SongsFor Hard Times went #1 on the Billboard, iTunes and Sirius XM BluesCharts and was produced by Grammy winner Vance Powell (Jack White,Chris Stapleton). The record is critically acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Relix, Pop matters, Guitar World, American Songwriter, No Depression,Glide, Wide Open Country, Paste, American Blues Scene and many more!

Razor Braids make their Buffalo Iron Works debut Sunday November 12th, 2023!
Razor Braids
Brooklyn’s Razor Braids is a queer, all-female/non-binary rock band combining the vulnerable self-awareness of indie rock with dynamic instrumentation anchored in a 90s alternative ethos. Through soaring harmonies and a driving rhythm section the band has honed a magnetic sound that is a testament to the healing power and catharsis of community.
Following their warmly-received debut album“I Could Cry Right Now If You Wanted Me To,” the band released two singles inSpring 2022, weaved together during the pandemic and bringing to life the memories – from terrible parties to secret make-out spots – that bubble to the surface when the world has been forced to a halt. The singles, “Kellogg’s” and “Megachurch,” garnered praise from Brooklyn Vegan and placements on multipleSpotify Fresh Finds playlists. In the time since, Razor Braids embarked on two headlining tours through the Midwest, South, and East Coast and opened up themain stage at Boston Calling 2023, sharing a stage with The Beaches and The FooFighters.
The band brought their energetic stage presence to SXSW as official artists, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Sultan Room, and Elsewhere as direct support for Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Jigsaw Youth and Anna Shoemaker, respectively. In 2023, the four-piece plans to release new music after their Fall North American tour, expanding on their singular balance of tightly layered vocals, heavy riffs and reflective lyrics with more confidence and sense of purpose than ever before
