Our first live concert of 2024 features Julian Rhee and Chelsea Wang playing works for violin and piano by Beethoven, Schubert, Clara Schumann, and more. Julian has been praised by The Strad for his "sophisticated, assured tone, superb intonation, and the kind of poise and showmanship that thrills audiences." He is the Silver Medalist of the 11th Quadrennial International Violin Competition of Indianapolis and winner of the Astral Artists 2021 National Auditions, the 2020 Elmar Oliveira International Competition, and many more. He just entered the prestigious Bowers Program at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center while pursuing a master's at New England Conservatory under Miriam Biss. Chelsea, whom The New York Times called "an excellent young pianist," is a prizewinner and finalist of the Seoul, Washington, and New York International Piano and the Schubert Club Scholarship Competitions, among others. She is pursuing a doctorate at Northwestern under James Giles while a member of Ensemble Connect, a fellowship program under the joint auspices of Carnegie Hall, the Weill Institute, and Juilliard.

Come hear these two accomplished artists, who often perform together, and meet them and enjoy complimentary refreshments after the concert. Students and parking are free.
