The talents of a new generation of musicians from around the globe will be center stage when the Western New York Chamber Orchestra hosts the Progressive Musicians Concerto winners for a concert at SUNY ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.
The concert is slated for Thursday, March 28, at 7:30 p.m., in the Harry A. King Concert Hall.
The event is the culmination of a months-long the Progressive Musicians’ colORCHESTRA project, which is designed “to discover and present concertos for wide variety of instruments from various periods, performed by international artists of highest caliber.â€
The seven soloists for the concert were selected by an international panel of judges through rigorous live auditioning, out of a pool of applicants from all over the world. The project was designed to allow musicians and audiences to bridge geographic and other barriers and “come together for a truly remarkable musical journey.â€
Performing during the March 28 concert will be Eleanor Alford (oboe), Austin Vitello (bassoon), Adalia Wen (piano) and Molly Xie (violin) from the United States; Hongbo Cai (piano) from China, Marcio Candido (violin) from Brazil and Mia Mandineau (soprano) from France.
Ms. Mandieau is currently enrolled in the Fredonia School of Music pursuing a master’s degree in Performance.
The Western New York Chamber Orchestra will be under the direction of Maestro Glen Cortese.
