LCC Faculty Recital/Scholarship Fundraiser

Lansing Community College music Professor Iskander Zakirov will perform a recital 4 p.m. Sunday (April 28) at Okemos Community Church to raise funds for LCC’s Music Program Endowed Scholarship, its first dedicated, sustaining scholarship for music students. The recital will feature selections from three of Ludwig van Beethoven’s piano sonatas.

Zakirov was born into a family of musicians in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, then part of the Soviet Union. He began studying music at the age of 5 and enrolled at Tashkent’s Uspensky Music School for Gifted Children at 6. He continued his studies at the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan before immigrating to the United States and earning his doctor of musical arts from Michigan State University. He performs throughout the United States, Europe and the former Soviet Union, covering a wide range of solo and chamber music.

Admission to the concert is free, but donations to the scholarship fund are encouraged. For more information, visit lcc.edu/showinfo.
