Pianist Boris Konovolav returns to Red Deer library for free concert
The Friends of the Red Deer Public Library are hosting a free lunchtime recital next month at the Downtown Branch, with seating limited and pre-registration encouraged.
The Friends of the Red Deer Public Library will present pianist Boris Konovolav for the next First Thursday Concert on September 3, 2026. The free performance runs from 12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. in the Snell Auditorium at the Red Deer Public Library's Downtown Branch.
Konovolav, who has performed at previous First Thursday concerts, will play Mozart's Sonata in A Minor in three movements, Beethoven's 32 Variations in C Minor, and Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Paganini, Book 1.
Attendees are asked to pre-register online, though limited standing room will be available for those without a confirmed seat. At Konovolav's request, this concert will not be live-streamed, unlike some other events in the series.
The library also noted that donations to support the First Thursday concerts help cover musicians' fees and expenses, with charitable receipts issued for contributions made out to the Red Deer Public Library.
