“Brenda Vongova performed at the series of Russian-themed concerts at Harvard University called ‘Moscow Nights’. Her opening piece, Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in c-sharp minor, set the mood for the night and the highest standard of performance. Ms. Vongova plays the piano with passion, maturity, and extraordinary refinement.”
~ Svetlana Dotsenko, Former President of the Harvard Russian Club
