International pianist and musicologist Jascha Nemtsov will perform a selection of Preludes and Fugues by Vsevolod Zaderatsky, who wrote his compositions on telegram paper while imprisoned in a Siberian Gulag. While much of Zaderatsky’s music was destroyed, these works miraculously made it into the hands of his son, Vsevolod Zaderatsky, Jr., who – in the 1970s – began the painstaking process of deciphering and copying the music onto full-sized note paper.
