2013 American Pianists Awards winner Sean Chen
Michelle Merrill, conductor
Beginning with Jessie Montgomery’s charming and colorful Strum, this concert will echo perfectly throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains. We welcome acclaimed pianist, Sean Chen, to the stage for Dmitri Shostakovich’s humorous, dark, and exciting first piano concerto, under the direction of Maestra Michelle Merrill alongside trumpeter David Vonderheide and the Wintergreen Festival Orchestra. To honor the late Michael White – composer, teacher, consummate Mozart fan, and beloved friend of Wintergreen Music – this concert is specially programmed with Mozart’s “Great G minor Symphony,” rustling underpinnings, brooding melodies, and a fiery finale worthy of Don Giovanni himself.
