| | The Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County is a nonprofit service organization that supports its members through unified marketing, capacity building, professional development, and advocacy services. This newsletter is sent to all who request it - but we ask that, if you are not a member, you explore membership benefits and consider joining this community of more than 600 individuals and organizations. You can sign up here. |
| | | | NEW WEBSITE: PREPARE YOUR PROFILES |
| The new integrated Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County + FCBuzz.org website is nearing completion. FCBuzz will now be a part of the CAFC website and will be known as FCBuzz Events. http://FCBuzz.org will automatically redirect visitors to the new FCBuzz Events section of our new website. We will be loading the new site with members' profiles and events during August, for a launch in September. This is a perfect opportunity to think about the way you present yourself to visitors to our site. Many artists simply say "artist" or "painter" when they could be sharing their unique vision on the world and their many accomplishments. In preparation for your re-do on FCBuzz Events, have a look at how your peers present themselves on our current site at http://www.fcbuzz.org/directory/artists/

| | | | | | IGOR PIKAYZEN
Igor Pikayzen is award-winning Russian-American violinist who is proving to be one of the most prodigious and in-demand soloists of his generation. Since his concerto debut at the age of 8, with Mozart's Violin Concerto #2 and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Pikayzen has appeared as a soloist with major orchestras spanning Europe, Asia, North and South America. In the last two seasons alone, he has given debuts and returned to Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York City, Tchaikovsky Hall and Minor Hall in Moscow, and Cadogan Hall in London, to name just a few. He is also a frequent guest at some of the most prestigious chamber music festivals and series in the world. His extensive discography demonstrates his versatility as an artist, and includes his debut album, with virtuoso works of Saint-Saëns, Ysaÿe, Paganini, and Wieniawski on the ProArte label. He is the first-prize winner at the Vina del Mar, Wronski, Szeryng and numerous other international violin competitions. Grandson of the legendary Soviet violinist Viktor Pikayzen, Igor was born in Moscow, Russia. After receiving his Bachelor's Degree from Juilliard, as well as a Master's Degree and Artist Diploma from the Yale School of Music, he is currently completing his DMA at the CUNY Graduate Center and is on the violin faculty of Brooklyn Conservatory. He shares his time between New York and Westport, where he has launched an annual summer music festival, Edelio. See Igor's website here. |
