Teodora Adzharova’s career has taken her to multiple performance venues in the United States, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Macedonia and the Czech Republic. Currently based in Baltimore, MD, she has established herself as one of the most sought-after chamber musicians in the Baltimore, MD-Washington, D.C. region, frequently collaborating with musicians from both the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University and the Baltimore Symphony  Orchestra.

The performance is a set of 50 movements divided into two books, The Vanishing Pavilions is a large-scale work composed by Michael Hersch and inspired by the poetry of Christopher Middleton. Written over a span of five years, the work explores a vast range of emotions that can be unsettling, disturbing, frightful and yet tender and pure in their unassuming directness.

In stark opposition to The Vanishing Pavilions stand Ustvolskaya’s Twelve preludes composed in 1953. As a composer working during the Stalinist era, her music did not achieve popularity at the time, and it has only recently reached wider recognition.
