“Simply dazzling” is the way the American Record Guide has described the Elkina Piano Duo.
Having played together since the age of five, Russian-born identical twins Julia and Irina Elkina are praised for their “truly remarkable oneness” by critics who also recognize that “each is a formidable pianist in her own right.”
The Elkina twins won the top prize in The Fourth Murray Dranoff International Two Piano Competition, where they also received a special prize for the best performance of a commissioned work by composer Paul Schoenfield. They have performed throughout the United States, making their New York debut in 1996 and playing return engagements there and in San Francisco, Chicago, Minneapolis/Saint Paul, Miami and New Orleans, just to name a few.
The twins have appeared at numerous festivals including Ravinia, the Gilmore Keyboard Festival, the Oregon Bach Festival, and the Minnesota Orchestra’s Sommerfest, and have performed with such conductors as Hugh Wolff and Bobby McFerrin.
The Elkinas have been heard on National Public Radio and many public radio stations nationwide including the award-winning weekly series Saint Paul Sunday, Performance Today, and A Prairie Home Companion. They have also been praised for their collaboration with acclaimed puppeteer Basil Twist’s production of Petrouchka, which returned for a much-awaited engagement at New York’s Lincoln Center in 2008 and has been performed throughout the United States.
The sisters studied under Professor Alexander Braginsky at the University of Minnesota, where they earned their Doctoral Degrees in Piano Performance.
They are both currently on the piano faculty of MacPhail Center for Music. Julia also teaches at Century college and Irina at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota.

HORA: Fired Heritage - The Art of Romanian Ceramics
2026-04-26 13:00 - 15:00 | HORA – MN – Suite 319, 75 5th St. W., Suite 319, Saint Paul, MN, 55102, United States
Visit the Romanian American Cultural Center on April 19th and 26th for a program that invites visitors into the vibrant world of Romanian ceramics, a tradition shaped by centuries of craftsmanship, regional identity, and artistic innovation. From the earthy greens of Oboga to the bold motifs of Horezu and the rare three‑color palette of Kuty, Romanian pottery reflects a living dialogue between land, community, and imagination. Each region brings its own visual language — swirling lines, geometric rhythms, stylized flora and fauna — all formed through techniques passed down through generations of master potters.
This exhibit showcases the diversity of Romania’s ceramic heritage, highlighting how local clays, firing methods, and folk aesthetics give rise to distinct artistic signatures. Visitors will encounter utilitarian vessels transformed into works of art, ceremonial pieces rich with symbolism, and contemporary interpretations that honor tradition while embracing modern expression.
Fired Heritage: The Art of Romanian Ceramics celebrates a craft where earth meets fire, and where everyday objects become enduring cultural storytellers.
The Romanian American Cultural Center will be closed on April 5 and 12 in observance of Easter.
