Alumni Concert SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2016 Alvin Zhu, piano Young Artist winner, 2007 Pianist and Young Steinway Artist, Alvin Zhu, has excited audiences around the world, presenting concerts throughout the U.S, China, France, Italy, and Australia. A frequent soloist with orchestras, Zhu has given performances of Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Gershwin, Mendelssohn, and Rachmaninoff concertos. His recent collaborations include Mozart’s Concerto in d minor K. 466 with Maestro Grant Cooper and the West Virginia Symphony in April 2015, and Mozart’s Concerto in C major with Maestro Rossen Milanov and the Chautauqua Symphony in July 2015. Prior, his acclaimed Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto with Maestro Yongyan Hu and the EOS Symphony received a standing ovation from a sold-out performance at the Beijing Concert Hall in 2013. He has been reengaged to perform Rachmaninoff’s Second Concerto with the EOS Symphony in the summer of 2016. His versatility as a performing artist has led him to celebrated performances at the International Women’s Forum, and G20 conference in Pittsburgh. Other than appearing live, he has recorded for NPR and WQED radio and has an album distributed on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and CD-Baby. His merits include Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award on NPR’s “From the Top” and many top prizes in various national competitions around the country. Zhu is an avid composer as well; aside from pieces for piano, recently his Sonata for Violin and Piano, “Poeme” has received acclaim in Juilliard since its premiere at Paul Recital Hall in New York. Having received his Bachelor’s and Master’s through Juilliard’s prestigious 5-year accelerated program with Dr. Yoheved Kaplinsky, Zhu spent one year pursuing the Artist Diploma with Peter Frankl at Yale University School of Music. Zhu was awarded the C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellowship and will attend Juilliard as a Doctor of Music candidate in Fall 2015. Zhu’s former teachers include Yeeha Chiu and Marylene Dosse. Zhu has collaborated with renowned musicians in masterclasses including Lang Lang, Gary Graffman, Leon Fleisher, Murray Perahia, and Emanuel Ax. For more information, visit alvinzhu.com. Danielle Pastin, soprano Major winner, 2009 Quoted as having “a lovely demeanor and irresistible creamy timbre” by Opera News, Danielle Pastin is quickly gaining attention from opera houses around the country. She made her main-stage Metropolitan Opera début singing Masha inThe Queen of Spades and has been invited back several times since, in a new production of Massenet’s Manon, in Francesca da Rimini, and, most recently, singing Frasquita in Carmen, a role she also performed in her début with the Dallas Opera. She triumphed in her Santa Fe Opera début, stepping in as Mimì in La bohème under the direction of Maestro Leo Vordoni on just a few hours’ notice and subsequently received their Judith Raskin Memorial Award for Singers. She has since performed the role to international critical acclaim in venues such as The Royal Albert Hall in London, Manitoba Opera, and Arizona Opera. This season Danielle will be debuting the roles of Liu in Nashville Opera’s Turandot and Hanna in The Merry Widow for Pensacola Opera. Since graduating the Pittsburgh young artist program in 2010, she enjoyed a triumphant return to Pittsburgh Opera as Desdemona in last season’s production of Otello and will be returning this season as Fioridligi in Cosi fan Tutte.

  • The Art of Fugue
    Emmanuel Music’s Bach Signature Season: The Art of Fugue Emmanuel Music’s 2007-08 Bach Signature Season switches into an intimate chamber mode on Wednesday evening, October 10. But there will also be a buzz of excitement, as history is made once again by this 37-year-old arts organization. Top pianists—a baker’s dozen of them from Boston and beyond—will share the spotlight in Bach’s The Art of Fugue. The Emmanuel Music concert will find these pianists bringing their own interpretative genius to the individual fugues that they play. Each fugue is a complex, textural piece of music that weaves a variety of voices together. The Art of Fugue promises to provide another unforgettable Emmanuel Music night, since this complex, mysterious and infrequently performed study of fugal counterpoint has fascinated scholars, historians, performers and audiences for nearly 260 years. Bach worked on the piece for more than a decade, probably from the late 1730s to his death in 1750, and it was published the following year. Its formal title is Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080. As a youth, Bach had already started experimenting with the fugal form, and The Art of Fugue stands as the pinnacle of his keyboard genius. Craig Smith, Emmanuel Music Conductor and Artistic Director, is the creative force behind The Art of Fugue concert. Among the pianists are John Harbison, distinguished composer and Emmanuel Music Principal Guest Conductor; Robert Levin, a performer known around the globe; and Emmanuel Music regulars, husband and wife, Randall Hodgkinson and Leslie Amper. Other familiar musicians who have participated in Emmanuel Music Chamber Series and other collaborations over the years will be on hand, along with some exciting new pianists.
