Twenty-three-year-old Ivan Moshchuk is among the most promising young artists of his generation, aiming to redefine the limits of classical music in the context of the 21st century. When asked about the purpose of his art, he turns to the words of Robert Schumann - “to send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.”

A recipient of the 2010 Gilmore Young Artist Award, 2011 Peabody Career Development Grant, and 2012 Rosamond P. Haeberle Memorial Piano Award, Mr. Moshchuk has been praised for possessing a “rare combination of breathtaking technique and genuine musicality” (Kalamazoo Gazette), leaving audiences stating that it was “impossible not to be impressed” (Baltimore Sun), and creating “a density that lets you feel the spiritual aspects of the music ... the best of the best” (Zofinger Zeitung).

Highlights from his past season included a debut with the Kharkiv Philharmonic in Ukraine, a debut with the Lublin Chamber Orchestra in Poland, as well as solo recitals in the USA, Italy, and France. In October of 2012, Mr. Moshchuk stepped in on short notice to perform with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra to a great critical acclaim.

Recent concerts include a five-concert solo tour of the Netherlands in May of 2014, including Mr. Moshchuk’s Concertgebouw debut in Amsterdam, as part of the International Holland Music Sessions New Masters on Tour. Additional performances include return engagements in the Ukraine, Poland, and France, his Slovak Philharmonic solo debut in Bratislava, and chamber music appearances with the Attacca Quartet for the American Music Festival and Chamber Music Wilmington in North Carolina.

Mr. Moshchuk’s live performances have been broadcast internationally on TV and radio, including NPR’s Performance Today. He has had solo and concerto appearances at the Gilmore Intl. Keyboard Festival (2010), Verbier Festival (2010), BANFF Intl. Music Festival (2011), and worked with leading artists such as Ivan Moravec, Mikhail Voskresensky, Klaus Helwig, Menahem Pressler, Sergei Babayan, Gábor Takács-Nagy, and John O’Conor.

Mr. Moshchuk also conducts independent research in music theory. In 2011, he was invited to present his theoretical work, “Episodic aspects of form in the music of Chopin and Rachmaninoff” at the 8th Intl. Scientific-Theoretical Symposium “Rachmaninoff: On the Break of Centuries,” as part of the 13th Intl. Rachmaninoff Festival in Kharkiv, Ukraine. His article has been published in the proceedings of the conference in 2012.

Mr. Moshchuk holds a Bachelor of Music in piano performance from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. He currently divides his time between his home in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and Paris, as a resident of the Cité Internationale des Arts, where he is researching the concept of “image” and the genre of l’imaginaire as it relates to the aesthetic, formal, and performance-related issues that connect musical expression with the domain of the visual.

I think this is due to the sale of many homes that are updated and ready to go. They have been setting records.
Four times a year, Jeannett publishes " Jeannett's Journal"  which is distributed directly to well over 18,000 residences in Coral Gables. The magazine encompasses Coral Gables news, Culture, and Business. We devote several pages to Real Estate and below you can find the most recent update  on what is going on in the Gables, when it comes to selling single-family homes.. Click here   to Jeannett's Journal.  
  As of the end of August 2022, in Coral Gables, the inventory of single-family homes has risen by 11% over the same time last year ( Aug 2021). However, the number of homes sold and the number of homes pended, have decreased by 26% and 24%, respectively. Why is this happening? For a long time now, we have been forecasting that the price/sqft has been on the rise, but prices have now overshadowed the norm and there is too much inventory that is simply overpriced.. In conclusion, prices need to come down in order to move that inventory. Since the Spring of 2022, when our Coral Gables inventory was at 48 homes, we have now more than tripled that number. However, our sales have been on the decline, month over month. More than about 63% of our present active inventory has been on the market for over four months. That is a very strong indication that these properties are overpriced and should be reduced at a faster rate. There are still many buyers out in the market looki...
