A young harpist from Russia will be the third featured artist in the Myra Foundation Presents: Concerts in the Galleries series at the North Dakota Museum of Art. Alisa Sadikova will perform work by Bach, Faure, Shostakovich, Castlenuovo-Tedesco, Scarlatti, Smetana, and Parish-Alvars on Sunday, February 9 at 2pm. A reception for the artist will follow the concert.

Alisa Sadikova gave her first public performance when she was six years old in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where she grew up. She established a reputation as a world-renowned soloist, winning many international competitions including the Prize Yuri Temirkanov, the Foundation V. Spivakov, and the Guzik Foundation grant. She has performed internationally as a soloist of the World Harp Congresses in Sydney and Hong Kong, is an ambassador for Lyon & Healy, and was featured in the international Royal Christmas Gala tour with Sarah Brightman. Alisa has performed with orchestras in over 25 countries and venues including Carnegie Hall and the Vienna State Opera. She has an active YouTube channel amassing millions of views, and has participated in online projects dedicated to Michael Jackson, Karpur Gauram, and Global Youth D2D Destiny Foundation. Alisa is currently completing her final year of study at the Juilliard School in New York City with Nancy Allen under the Guzik Foundation grant. This will be her first visit to North Dakota.

While she is in Grand Forks, Alisa will be performing in a local middle school and offering a master class for students of local harpist, Callie Stadem.
