Concert Attire

KUAR | By Ray Moore
Published November 22, 2013 at 2:03 PM CST

Valdimir Ashkenazy, born in 1937 in Russia, but now a citizen of Iceland, is one of the world’s premier concert pianists, and a fine conductor as well. 

Ashkenazy does not like to wear ties, and so always performs in a tux and white turtleneck sweater, one of only a few to alter the traditional concert attire!
