Concerts at Calvary: Gray-Magamedova | January 25, 2025
The cello and piano duo of Johannes Gray and Anastasiya Magamedova play Sonatas for cello and piano by Chopin and Rachmaninoff.
GRAY-MAGAMEDOVA
The Duo Gray-Magamedova has been performing together since 2019 and enjoys giving concerts throughout Europe and the United States as well as the Middle East and Asia. They are known for their unique and varied recital repertoire programs, particularly enjoying bringing unknown pieces into the spotlight and curating these programs often around a particular theme or concept such as Fairytales in music, pieces inspired by folk melodies, or neoclassicism and how composers look to the past to create new works. Their Fairytales project was recorded with the franco-suisse label Evidence Classics and will be released in early 2025.
As Young Artists in Residence at the Scandinavian Cello School in Denmark, they participate in numerous music outreach projects as well as public concerts throughout Scandinavia. Since their debut at Lincoln Center at Paul Hall (New York City) in 2019, the duo has continued to perform around the world, in venues such as the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Theatre for Digital Arts in Dubai, and the Tajikistan National Opera. In France, they have been invited on “Générations France Musique, le Live” as well as to give recital programmes. In 2022, they became laureates of the European Chamber Music Competition. Cellist Johannes Gray received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, and pianist Anastasiya Magamedova received her Bachelor’s degree from the Juilliard School in New York. As a duo, they continue their studies at the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris.
