Another Happy Couple

Recently, Trio Maxim was fortunate to perform for a wedding ceremony of Marcos and Margo. This wonderful couple had their wedding ceremony in the Gardens at Heather Farms in Walnut Creek, California. The setting was spectacular! For the ceremony they have requested their favorite songs including:  Can’t Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley, When I’m 64 - Beatles, All You Need Is Love - Beatles, Get Lucky - Daft Punk, Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton, Por una Cabeza, Four Seasons, Vivaldi, Married Life (from Up). They were very pleased with how Trio Maxim sounded, and were very kind to send us a thank you note. Here is a text:

"Hi Max and the rest of the Trio!

Thank you so much for performing at our wedding!

Your music was beautiful and created a magical day for us!"

                                                                                      Best, Margo & Marcos

Thank you Trio Maxim!

Pierce Wang - a rising Star!

Pierce Wang and Max Baluyev backstage at Vacaville Performing Arts Theater

Pierce Wang (14 years old) performed a violin concerto by Julie Conus in E minor with Solano Symphony Orchestra this evening. What a fantastic violinist! Being a concertmaster of the orchestra I have observed Pierces playing very closely. His playing exhibits flawless technique, impeccable intonation and uncanny understanding of musical phrasing. At the end of the concerto which went great, the orchestra and the audience were treated to an encore called "Der Erlkonig" by Heinrich Ernst. This composition is considered to be one of the most challenging pieces ever written for the violin! Pierce breezed thru it like it was walk in the park! What an amazing talent! YouTube has a video of Pierce playing this piece when he was 11! Please check it out!

 

Happy Newlyweds!

Kara & Jonathan

We had a great pleasure to perform at Kara's and Jonathan's wedding in Livermore on September 8th, 2017. This wonderful wedding was held at picturesque Garre Winery. We played several custom arranged songs for the bride and groom including "Drops of Jupiter" by Train! I am happy to report they very were pleased with our work and were kind enough to send us a thank you card! Best of luck to the newlyweds!

Max's solo appearance at St.Marks Lutheran Church!

Just performed one of my favorite pieces by G.F.Handel, his famous "Largo" from the Opera "SERSE" ( XERXES ). "Largo" also known as "Ombra mai fu", translated from Italian as "Never was a shade". It is a solemn piece, originally written as an aria for the main character, Xerxes I of Persia. Handel finished composing the opera in 1738, unfortunately it did not became popular until almost hundred years after. There are a number of arrangements of this piece for various instruments. We performed an arrangement by Aug. Reinhard for violin and organ. Enjoy!
