Maxim Lubarsky live in Edgartown

Experience Maxim Lubarsky live on August 7th

Maxim Lubarsky, a Russian-born American composer and pianist, will perform at the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, Massachusetts on August 7, 2026. Lubarsky’s musical style is often described as neo-romantic, drawing inspiration from composers like Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev while incorporating elements of jazz and contemporary classical music. His compositions frequently feature complex harmonies, virtuosic piano writing, and emotionally evocative melodies. He is known for both solo piano works and compositions for larger ensembles.

The Old Whaling Church, originally built in 1843 by the First Congregational Church of Edgartown, served as a central religious and community space during the height of Martha’s Vineyard’s whaling era. Its architecture is a notable example of Greek Revival style, characterized by its symmetrical facade and imposing columns. The building's interior is distinguished by its high-arched ceiling and original pews.

After periods of disuse and potential demolition in the 20th century, the church was meticulously restored and now functions primarily as a performance venue hosting a variety of musical events, including classical concerts, choral performances, and chamber music recitals.
