Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame featuring Stas Venglevski June 4th at 2:00 PM 
EDT (UTC-4)

On June 4th, 2023 at 2:00 PM EDT (UTC-4) Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame will 
feature accordionist Stas Venglevski.  Stas Venglevski will be 
performing 15 one-minute works written specifically for him and his 
bayan accordion.  The Bayan is an accordion that was developed in Russia 
in the very late nineteenth century. It features a button arrangement 
for the both hands (instead of the keyboard and buttons arrangement on 
most Western accordions), offering a wider range. It shines its best in 
the classic repertoire, often giving a sound akin to a large pipe organ.

The composers selected for this set of Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame are: 
Michalis Andronikou, David Bohn, Stephen de Filippo, John Kefala Kerr, 
Chihchun Chi-sun Lee, Rosita Piritore, Ryan Charles Ramer, Cornelia 
Schmid, David Unger, Robert Voisey, Anna Vriend, Willyn Whiting, Matthew 
Williamson, Yehuda Yannay, and Yuriy Zhikrivetskiy.

His artistry, dazzling technical command, and sensitivity have brought 
Stanislav, "Stas," Venglevski, a native of the Republic of Moldova, part 
of the former Soviet Union, increasing acclaim as a virtuoso of the 
Bayan. A two-time first prize winner of Bayan competition in the 
Republic of Moldova, Stas is a graduate of the Russian Academy of Music 
in Moscow where he received his Masters Degree in Music under the 
tutelage of the famed Russian Bayanist, Friedrich Lips. In 1992 he 
immigrated to the United States.

Stas is an Accordionist, a Musician, an Arranger, an Entertainer and a 
Teacher. Stas founded Accordion XXI Century Series in 2010 so that the 
Midwest audiences can experience the amazing range of the Accordion and 
Bayan by bringing gifted artists from all over the world. In a concert 
setting, these gifted musicians share their skills and cultures to 
provide the audience with a unique musical experience. The performances 
feature the Accordion or Bayan in solo presentation and, when possible, 
in concert with other instruments.
