October 11 th was a big day for Park ICM. Shmuel Ashkenasi, winner of not one but three international violin competitions and renowned pedagogue, performed with Lolita Lisovskaya-Sayevich, Director of Collaborative Piano for Park ICM, for an enthusiastic house at the 1900 Building in Mission Woods, Kansas. Afterward, members of the Park International Center for Music Patrons Society toasted the classical music star with cream puffs, chocolate tortes and terrific wine! This was the second in a series of world-class artists coming to Kansas City for the Park ICM 1900 Series at the 1900 Building. Photography by Larry F. Levenson
