Daniel Tselyakov will give an extended performance that includes pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Scriabin and more. It will be streamed live on the School of Music’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

“This is a special concert as it is a bit of a homecoming for Daniel,” said BU Dean of Music Greg Gatien. “We are so proud to be celebrating Daniel’s success, given his deep roots in our community, the great work he did in his time in the Conservatory and at the School, and we look forward to hearing even more from him during this summer’s Clear Lake Chamber Music Festival.”

The live-streamed concert will take place Tuesday, March 9, beginning at 7:30 p.m. It is expected to last about two hours.
