Celebrate Sergei Novikov’s 15th year at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod with a captivating afternoon of Classical, Jazz, Blues, and Latin-inspired piano artistry. Join us to experience the elegance and passion that have enchanted audiences worldwide.
At the age of six, Novikov began his musical studies on the three-stringed balalaika. His proficiency and determined attitude led his parents to enroll him in the Moscow School of Art, where he was introduced to the accordion. At seven, he switched to piano and made rapid progress during the rest of his training at the school.
In his teens, Novikov traveled throughout Russia with a pop band, selling out big stadiums. Since his immigration to the United States in 1990, Novikov has become a major force in contemporary composing and has a large following in New England, Pennsylvania, and Florida. His sounds reflect influences and nuances of Classical, Jazz, Spanish, Latin, Russian, Blues, Tango, Electronica, and other styles.
The Boston Globe described his work: “Sergei Novikov brings an intelligence, craft, and elegance to his arrangements that popular New Agers lack. His music is both accessible to the unschooled ear and complex enough to hold the interest of the classical music appreciator.”
Novikov opened a program for First Lady Barbara Bush and has performed for dignitaries, including President George H.W. Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and Vice President Joe Biden, as well as celebrities Billy Joel, Paul Newman, and Reba McEntire. Novikov received official recognition from the Queen Mother of England for his music.
For the past 24 years, Novikov has sold over 500,000 CDs and performed live more than 10,000 times.
