Musical Prodigy Rudolf Budginas debuted with the
Lithuanian National Symphony at age nine, trained at
Moscow Conservatory, and promptly rose to international
fame performing solo concerts. After moving to the U.S.
in 1994, he discovered his true passion: giving classical
music a broader audience appeal.

In his ingenious show “You, Me & the Piano,” Budginas
illustrates how classical music has influenced
contemporary artists by actually breaking down how Billy
Joel might have drawn on Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody”
to get “Piano Man.” Famous for audience and humorous
aside, Rudolf Budginas takes the audience from “Claire
de Lune” to “Rhapsody in Blue” with contagious energy
and endless surprises!
