Ron Stabinsky
Ron Stabinsky received his first music lessons at the age of five from Michael Hoysock, his grandfather. Currently, he is stimulated by the process of improvising music in solo and small ensemble situations, while continuing to be inspired by studying and performing music of various past traditions. He has studied the art of improvisation with Bill Dixon and Joel Futterman. Sessions with Jack Wright and the many manifestations of Jack’s generous spirit in the world of improvised music have also provided much impetus for recent growth in Ron’s own work.
Since January 2007, he has been producing an ongoing series of music performances, often focused on improvisation, in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He received Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts Project Grants in 2007 and 2008 for this series. Recent performances of written repertoire include the Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue with the Wyoming Seminary/Performing Arts Institute Civic Symphony Orchestra (Kingston, PA) and the complete Beethoven Violin Sonatas with violinist Sophie Till.
Ron is a piano student of Edna Golandsky and Ilya Itin. He is the 2008 recipient of the F. Lammot Belin Arts Scholarship.
