SUMMARY:Valentin Kovalev - Masterclass
DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Saxophone Studio as we host Valentin Kovalev for a brief performance and masterclass. \n  \nAbout Valentin Kovalev:\nClassical saxophonist Valentin Kovalev is redefining the voice of the saxophone for the 21st century. His commanding performances\, innovative programming\, and powerful digital presence are elevating the instrument on the world’s most prestigious stages. \n  \nThis mission was brought to the forefront with his victory at the 2022 Naumburg Foundation International Saxophone Competition\, which culminated in a sold-out debut recital at Carnegie Hall. The 2023 performance featured the world premiere of a new work by GRAMMY-winning composer Steven Mackey\, solidifying Valentin’s reputation as a trailblazer. \n  \nValentin’s growing list of accolades includes winning the Concert Artists Guild (CAG) Competition and its Audience Award\, joining the roster of Astral Artists as a National Competition Winner\, and receiving significant awards from the Fondation pour la Vocation (France)\, the Rostropovich Foundation (Russia)\, and the Musical Fund Society of Philadelphia. \n  \nHis dynamic artistry spans genres\, from a world premiere with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra to a live performance with acclaimed electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling for an audience of 6\,000. An active educator\, Valentin has taught masterclasses across the Americas\, Europe\, and Asia\, and was recently appointed visiting professor at the Cleveland Institute of Music. \n  \nValentin’s journey from Siberia to the world stage—with studies in Moscow\, the Paris Conservatory\, and the University of Michigan—is a testament to his singular vision. His impact extends online\, where he has cultivated a global community of over 150\,000 followers and garnered more than 100 million views across his social media channels. \n  \nValentin Kovalev is a Henri Selmer Paris and Conn-Selmer artist and is represented by Concert Artists Guild. \n
