Alexander Ilyich Siloti led musicians to inspire and sustain the Russian people through a difficult era of wars and political transition. Siloti’s St. Petersburg Concerts (1903-1917) and Duma Hall People’s Free Concerts (1915-1917) crafted music for the Russian people at the pinnacle of world musical art. Siloti’s unbridled musical clarity, moral character, pianistic expression, and heart for people fused connections across musical artists and audiences.
