The Museum is pleased to present world-renowned concert pianist Eugen Indjic for the 2012 Rushton Concert. Indjic enjoyed success from an early age studying with piano masters Alexander Borovsky and Arthur Rubinstein. He performed on NBC at 10, made his first recording at age 12 of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations for RCA Victor on Rachmaninov’s own piano, and made his first appearance with the Washington Symphony at age 13. At 18 he became the youngest pianist to perform with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Indjic is a graduate of Harvard University and a winner of three international contests: Warsaw 1970, Leeds 1972, and Rubinstein 1974. He has played a series of special concerts in “Homage to Arthur Rubinstein” throughout the US and Europe, and regularly performs in premier concert venues including Carnegie Hall, Theatre des Champs-Elysées, La Scala, and Berlin Philharmonic. In addition to performing, Indjic administers master classes in Europe, Japan, and the US. Although he is best known for Chopin, his repertoire also includes Debussy, Schumann, and Stravinsky.  

This concert is sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. William J. Rushton III.

Join Curator of American Art Graham Boettcher at 6:00 pm for a tour of Norman Rockwell’s America prior to the concert. The concert is free, but an exhibition ticket is required for the tour. Tickets can be purchased on the BMA web site or at the door.
