In 2003, the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra (GSO) welcomed DMITRY SITKOVETSKY, world-renowned violinist and conductor, as its new Music Director. Russian born Sitkovetsky is currently Principal Guest Conductor of the Russian State Symphony in Moscow and is Conductor Laureate of the Ulster Orchestra. As violin soloist, chamber musician, and conductor Dmitry Sitkovetsky's compelling artistry has firmly established him as one of the foremost talents of his generation whose music-making speaks eloquently to audiences throughout the world.

KONSTANTIN LIFSHITZ made his American début at the Newport Festival in 1996, he began his career as a pianist at seventeen with a work to which others come only at a mature age: Bach´s Goldberg Variations. The recording received a Grammy Nomination Award and was praised as the most convincing Bach interpretation since Glenn Gould
