GRoW @ The Wallis will present an evening of chamber music with inaugural Grauman Fellow Artem Diaz Kolesov Fominyx, violin, on Saturday, Feb. 4 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts’ Bram Goldsmith Theater. Joined by Evelyn Lee, piano, Kolesov performs Violin Sonatas No. 1 (“Regensonate”), 2 (“Meistersinger”), and 3 by Brahms.

Born in Maloyaroslavetz, Russia, Fominyx won international competitions in Tallin, Estonia, and Freiburg, Germany, and performed with the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic at age 15.

The Walter and Peggy Grauman Endowment Fund and the establishment of The Walter and Peggy Grauman Fellowship in Classical Music are made possible by the generosity of performing arts philanthropist and Wallis Ambassador Peggy Parker Grauman and her late husband, Walter Grauman. The new fellowship program is part of GRoW @ The Wallis, an umbrella for the robust mix of education and outreach programs at The Wallis, that uses the power of the arts to address important social issues and respond to critical needs in the greater community through arts leadership, learning, collaboration and partnership.

Applications are open for the 2023-24 Walter and Peggy Grauman Fellowship in Classical Music, the first-ever fellowship program at The Wallis and the first of its type in Los Angeles County. It provides an annual Fellowship Award of $15,000 to advance the career of an exceptionally talented emerging classical pianist or strings musician based in Los Angeles. The fellow is asked to plan and implement a community-based outreach project designed to promote awareness and appreciation of classical music in Los Angeles County.
