March 18, Saturday at 9.30 p.m., St. Petersburg Music House invites to Portugal for Concert of Series "Embassy of Musical Mastery" within the First Piano Festival in Algarve. On theTempo Theater stage in Portimao with "Orquestra Filarmónica Portuguesa" will perform the Winner of International Listz Pianist Competition  (Weimar-Bayreuth, 2015) Alexei Sychev. Conductor is the People's Artist of Russia Alexander Chernushenko.
 
Alexei Sychev will present his vision of Sergei Rachmaninoff`s Third Piano Concerto to the wide audience.  Having given the main role to piano, the composer "subordinated" the Orchestra to him endowing the instrument ability to "sing" by his own admission. Piano concerts are rightly considered as the pinnacle of Rachmaninoff's creativity, and the Third Concerto, according to Russian musicologist Boris Asafiev, has been formed the "titanic composer`s style".
 
Alexei Sychov, 28 years old, was born in Lipetsk. He graduated the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory (Class of Honored Artist of Russia, Professor Pavel Nersesyan). Until 2016 he studied at the University of Mozarteum in Salzburg (Class of Professor Jacques Rouvier).
