Description:
The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents the Music on Mondays concert featuring Visiting Artists flutist Mimi Stillman and pianist Charles Abramovic on Monday, April 24, 2017 at the Squires Recital Salon.

One of the most celebrated and innovative flutists of her generation, Mimi Stillman has been hailed by The New York Times as a "consummate and charismatic performer". Called "the coolest flute player" by Philadelphia Magazine, she and pianist Charles Abramovic have received rave reviews on four continents.

She has appeared as soloist with orchestras including The Philadelphia Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfónica de Yucatán, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Bach Collegium Stuttgart, Chamber Orchestra of the Triangle, Hilton Head Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra First Editions, and Orchestra 2001, and as recitalist and chamber musician at venues including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Brooklyn's Roulette, Verbier Festival in Switzerland, Bard College, La Jolla Chamber Music Festival, and Kol HaMusica in Israel.

Charles Abramovic has won critical acclaim for his international performances as a soloist, chamber musician, and collaborator with leading instrumentalists and singers. He has performed a vast repertoire not only on the piano, but also the harpsichord and fortepiano. Abramovic made his solo orchestral debut at the age of fourteen with the Pittsburgh Symphony. Since then he has appeared as soloist with numerous orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, the Colorado Philharmonic, the Florida Philharmonic, and the Nebraska Chamber Orchestra. He has given solo recitals throughout the United States, France and Yugoslavia. He has also appeared at major international festivals in Berlin, Salzburg, Bermuda, Dubrovnik, Aspen and Vancouver.
