National YoungArts Foundation had scheduled Pianist Conrad Tao to present the final concert in its new YoungArts at Ted’s series in Miami this month. But with quarantines still underway, the audience has been invited - virtually - to YoungArts at Conrad’s, from the pianist’s home in New York Thursday, May 7 at 7 pm. YoungArts, which supports young artists from their teens and continuing throughout their careers, will also present an online chat for young composers featuring violinist Jennifer Koh and composer Andrew Norman next week.
Tao, a YoungArts alum, discusses his thoughts about what makes a live performance unique and how that shaped his now online show for the series.
