Behzod Abduraimov Gets High Praise at Carnegie Hall Performance

With every performance in far reaches of the world, Behzod brings international attention and acclaim to our boutique conservatory in the Midwest. To experience our famed alum, a nice contingency of ICM Patrons travel to support him and even stayed late to greet the virtuoso at a Park University sponsored reception in Carnegie’s Shorin Club Room. The famed Uzbeki composer, Dilorom Saidaminova, was even in attendance to witness her creation’s Carnegie Hall debut, and hang out with the Kansas City crowd. Congratulations, Behzod!
