Music from the
third dimension
Classical music festival set
to return to Liberty Theatre
Third Dimension Festival
BY PETER KORCHNAK
Tickets for individual shows, packages and
festival passes available
Returning to the Liberty Theatre in Asto-
ria for a 13 night run, the Third Dimen-
sion Festival is set to bring classical music
favorites back to the North Coast.
The festival, now in its second year, will
also feature an inaugural Astoria Interna-
tional Chamber Music Competition.
Returning to the festival stage will be
the Hermitage Piano Trio, consisting of
musicians Sergey Antonov, Ilya Kazantsev
and Misha Keylin, appearing alongside a
handful of special guests.
Antonov, the festival’s creator, fi rst per-
formed at the now defunct Astoria Music
Festival more than a decade ago. “I abso-
lutely fell in love with the town and the

A 13 day lineup of classical music artists
community,” Antonov said. His idea for
a classical music festival came along
years later. In 2021, he revisited the idea
which became the Third Dimension Fes-
tival, debuting at the Liberty Theatre last
August. Its title is a statement of the times.
As opposed to the two dimensional screens
which have become so integral to entertain-
ment over the past couple of years, the fes-
tival takes its title from the live elements of
performance.
