Russian pianist Tatiana Stupak has since 2016 held a charity concert in Limassol in June, to celebrate her birthday. This year, because of Covid restrictions on audience numbers, she will hold concerts on three successive evenings, for an audience limit of 284 people each evening at the Rialto Theatre, on Wednesday 9th, Thursday 10th and Friday 11th June. There will be a different musical theme each evening.

On Wednesday 10th, she will accompany the mezzo-soprano singer Anastasia Maximova, in a programme of well-known music, including some operatic arias.

Thursday will be a string evening, with Stupak, and the brilliant string players, Olivera Rialas (violin), and the Italian cellist, Fabio Cavaggion.

Friday 11th will be an evening of music on various instruments, by students of the Tatiana Stupak School of Music.

Net proceeds of the three concerts will be given to the Holy Temple of the Archangel Michael & the Chapel of St Matrona Monovolikos, Limassol.

Tickets (€15) can be bought at the theatre’s box office (but not on the nights of the concerts), and on-line from https://rialto.interticket.com.

Starting times: 7.30 p.m.

Tatiana Stupak (piano)

Tatiana Stupak started learning the piano at age five, studying at the Special School of the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St. Petersburg, and after that, for a further five years, continuing at the Conservatory itself. She is the winner of many awards and music competitions, for piano and organ.
Stupak is very well known in Cyprus, having played piano at more than 80 events in the last few years, both as a solo pianist and accompanying other musicians. Since 2018, she has played piano solos at The Big Choir Project concerts.

She arranges charity concerts for children and for the church, and brings famous musicians from Russia, for example from the Bolshoi Theatre.
She opened the Tatiana Stupak School of Music in 2018, where students can enter for examinations in the U.K., set by the Royal Schools of Music and by Trinity College. Students may also take part in public concerts, to gain experience in performing before audiences.

In 2018, Stupak won awards on being chosen in competition, as Russian Cultural Woman of the Year in Cyprus.
In the summer of 2019, having organised fund-raising concerts on several occasions for the Institute of Neurology and Genetics, she was invited to play piano solos at a concert at the Presidential Palace, where President Anastasiades presented her with an award on behalf of the Institute. She has won many other awards for her work in Cyprus.

She has been interviewed many times on Cyprus radio and TV channels. Early in 2020 she was interviewed on the subject of children and music, and the interview was shown on Smile TV; previously she appeared live on TV ONE’s charity show, DanSing for You, not as a pianist, but as a dancer. In June last year, she was interviewed by RIK1 TV, about her life in music and also about one of her sports, which is mountaineering. Also during 2020, over a period of a few weeks, she made live Internet broadcasts, giving illustrated talks about ten classical music composers.
She maintains two YouTube channels: one for herself, and another for her music school.
