MCC’s “A World of Music” to Host Noted Ukrainian Pianist

As part of the Spring 2025 “A World of Music” concert series, Middlesex Community College will welcome noted Ukrainian pianist Anastasia Seifetdinova. The performance will take place at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 4 at MCC’s Concert Hall in Bedford.

“I am very much looking forward to the piano recital at MCC with the pieces I chose and combined into a wonderful program,” Seifetdinova said. “There will be well-known classical Western European composers presented and three Ukrainian composers that have never enjoyed support from the Soviet regime, in fact, one of them, Zaderatsky, has been imprisoned multiple times.”

Seifetdinova has performed throughout Europe, the United States, Japan and Mexico. During the concert at Middlesex, she will perform works by Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Joseph Haydn, Robert Schumann, and short pieces by Ukrainian composers Nestor Nyzhankivsky, Boris Lyatoshinsky, and Vsevolod Zaderatzky.

“We are thrilled to be presenting the wonderful Ukrainian pianist Anastasia Seifetdinova for a solo piano recital,” said Carmen Rodríguez-Peralta, MCC’s Chair of Music. “She first performed here at MCC several years ago, and our audience will certainly be excited to hear her again!”

Additional “A World of Music” performances in Bedford include Guqin and Viola in Musical Dialogue at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 11; and a Student Recital at 12:30 p.m. on Monday, April 28. MCC will also host the Lowell Chamber Orchestra (LCO) for a second time this semester at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 26.

Previous concerts this season include the LCO on Saturday, February 1; an Online Saturday Arts Concert featuring MCC faculty, alumni and students on Saturday, March 8; and Know Orchestra on Sunday, March 23.

All concerts are free and open to the public.
