The recital is open to the public free of charge and will take place in the Niles Chapel of Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau Street in Princeton.
The January 16 program is entitled "The Poetry of Opera and Operetta: Emotions in Every Note", and comprises music by Mozart, Verdi, Tchaikovsky and Strauss.

Her students have received numerous awards and acknowledgements of excellence in piano study. At present Ms. Prilutskaya is a faculty member of Westminster Conservatory in Princeton, NJ.

Her performances in the United States include solo recitals at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Kosciuszko Foundation, and chamber music recitals at Merkin Concert Hall. She also won the hearts of the audience with her technical brilliance and artistic insight in Italy at the Meranofest’95. Ms. Gleyzerova Shindel was the First Prize Winner of the Metlife Music Competition. Harris Goldsmith of the New York Concert Review magazine wrote: “Inessa Gleyzerova is a well equipped pianist and burgeoning musician of potential stature…” Ms. Gleyzerova Shindel is a faculty member of Westminster Conservatory as well as one of the artistic directors of the Music-Fest Rising Talents Festival.
