DUO SOLISTA & NAN HUGHES: A Tribute to Tom & Isobel Rolston

Live from the Rockies presents a heartfelt afternoon of chamber music, featuring DUO SOLISTA — the husband-and-wife pairing of pianist Dmitry Nesterov and violinist Olga Kotova — alongside acclaimed Banff-based mezzo-soprano NAN HUGHES.

Together they present A Tribute to Tom & Isobel Rolston, honoring their personal connection to the legendary Banff Centre educators whose teaching and visionary leadership shaped generations of classical musicians across Canada and around the world.

Performing as Duo Solista — a name reflecting their dedication to being both solo artists and life partners — Olga and Dmitry bring a partnership forged since age seventeen and tempered by decades on the world stage: Kotova a First Violin section member of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra since 1996, and Nesterov a Laureate of the inaugural 1992 Honens International Piano Competition.

Nan Hughes, who has called Banff home for the past 25+ years, is an internationally accomplished mezzo-soprano whose career has taken her across Europe and the Americas, from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to performances with the Boston Pops.

Together, these three musicians — who met, and were each shaped, as alumni and former Artists-in-Residence of Banff's music programs — offer a programme that is at once a personal remembrance and a living testament to the enduring tradition, vision, and legacy the Rolstons built.
