Do you ever wish that you could have heard Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart play on any of the instruments that he wrote for? Have you ever marvelled at a young soloist's feats, talents and technical skills on his or her respective instrument? What would be your reaction to see and hear someone excel at two different instruments in equally complex, difficult pieces? How would you feel if this artist was a mere teenager at the ripe, old age of seventeen?
On Saturday, October 18, 2008, the Greater Bridgeport Symphony is proud to present the brilliant pianist and violinist Anita Chen in performances of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 21 in C major and Niccolo Paganini's Violin Concerto no. 1 in D major. Ms. Chen, who was born in 1991 in New Jersey, studies piano with Oxana Yablonskaya at the Juilliard School and violin with Albert Markov at the Manhattan School of Music. Her poetic style, virtuousic expertise and innate musicality will be on display in both works. The concert is rounded out with Johannes Brahms' Symphony no. 3 in F major.
