EUGENE TZIGANE CONDUCTOR

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2018 7:30 PM At this one-night-only event, witness a spectacular that is rarely seen on the Bass Hall stage outside of the Cliburn Competition: the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra joins three extraordinary pianists for three iconic concertos— all Rachmaninov—in one night. We proudly welcome back recent laureates for this special occasion.

FEI-FEI 2013 CLIBURN FINALIST “ In this performance, [Fei-Fei] extracted every last ounce of energy where needed and gentle nuance when required. The audience held its breath in rapt attention to this amazing musical experience.”

— Palm Beach Daily News Fei-Fei was named winner of the Concert Artists Guild Competition just a year after her 2013 Cliburn finalist finish. Her burgeoning career includes a number of prominent engagements with orchestra, in recital, and as a member of the Aletheia Piano Trio, which debuted at the Kennedy Center in 2014. Deeply committed to sharing her joy for music and connecting with communities, she also engages students and community audiences through frequent school and outreach concerts and master classes.

YEOL EUM SON 2009 CLIBURN SILVER “ Yeol Eum Son devotes herself to her dreaming… A musical experience of the deepest mutual understanding is portrayed, a truly magical moment.”

— Der Tagesspiegel Yeol Eum Son followed her 2009 Cliburn success with another second prize win at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 2011. She’s performed around the world, recently appearing with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, and NHK Symphony Orchestra; and has six unique recording projects, including a 2018 release with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner. Having achieved great fame in her native South Korea, she is an honorary ambassador of the Seoul Arts Center and her home city of Wonju.

HAOCHEN ZHANG 2009 CLIBURN GOLD “ Such a combination of enchanting, sensitive lyricism and hypnotizing forcefulness is a phenomenon encountered very rarely.”

— The Jerusalem Post

Since his 2009 Cliburn triumph, Haochen Zhang has captivated audiences around the world. Career highlights include immense popularity in his native China, tours with the Munich Philharmonic and Sydney Symphonies, and the Mariinsky Orchestra under Valery Gergiev. He recently received the Avery Fisher Career Grant, made his recital debut at Carnegie Hall, and performed with the China NCPA Orchestra at their Carnegie Hall debut and New Year concert in Beijing, and the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra in its Kennedy Center debut.

KIMBELL ART MUSEUM RENZO PIANO PAVILION

BIG TALENTS. INTIMATE HALL. POWERFUL EXPERIENCES.

LAWRENCE BROWNLEE TENOR + ERIC OWENS BARITONE THURSDAY & FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20 & 21, 2018 7:30 PM “ An open-hearted performance on a straight-ahead program of traditional arias and American fare... a special evening and wholly enjoyable performance by friends.”

— Kansas City Star

Two of today’s most sought-after international opera stars join forces to deliver beloved opera and American music, from pop songs to spirituals.

Bass-baritone Eric Owens was dubbed an “American marvel” by the Chicago Sun-Times; Lawrence Brownlee, returning to the Kimbell after a phenomenal Cliburn Concerts debut in 2015, has been hailed as “one of the world’s leading bel canto tenors” by the Associated Press. Separately they have appeared at nearly every major opera house and with the world’s leading orchestras. Together in recital, they are an absolutely unforgettable powerhouse.

LEONIDAS KAVAKOS VIOLIN + ENRICO PACE PIANO THURSDAY, JANUARY 31 & FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2019 7:30 PM “ This is playing that sorts out the men from the boys. I doubt if there is more than a handful of violinists alive who can match Kavakos…”

— Gramophone

Leonidas Kavakos is recognized around the world as a violinist and artist of rare quality; the Seattle Times ranked him “among the greatest instrumentalists of our time.” Early major competition wins (Sibelius, Paganini, and Naumburg) propelled him to a notable career working with the greatest orchestras and conductors. He is artist-in-residence at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Vienna Musikverein; he tours with Yuja Wang (including a stop this season at Carnegie Hall), and YoYo Ma and Emanuel Ax; and he returns to Cliburn Concerts with extraordinary pianist Enrico Pace. The duo’s performances “sing and dance with youthful vigour, paying due homage to the music’s classical roots” (BBC Music Magazine).

ALEXANDRE THARAUD PIANO THURSDAY & FRIDAY, APRIL 4 & 5, 2019 7:30 PM “ When, after 30 [Goldberg] variations, the Aria returned at the evening’s end—caressing in its tenderness, nostalgic in its reach, hopeful in its gentle declarations—it was as if the entire world had been transformed without us knowing it.”

— Washington Post

Paris-native Alexandre Tharaud’s career abounds with accomplishment and intrigue: in addition to concerts with most major orchestras and venues across North America and Europe, he’s collaborated with horse trainer and impresario Bartabas, appeared in and performed the soundtrack for Michael Haneke’s Academy Award-winning Amour, and recorded 37 albums. In 2015, he took on one of the pinnacles of keyboard literature—Bach’s Goldberg Variations— which he performs for us, in one set, on each of two nights in April for his Texas debut.

KIMBELL ART MUSEUM RENZO PIANO PAVILION

PHENOMENAL RISING STARS. THE FUTURE OF MUSIC ON OUR STAGE.

ADAM GOLKA PIANO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2018 7:30 PM

“In Golka’s hands, the work was stunning, a revelation of the composer’s soul.”

— Chicago Sun-Times

Born and raised in Texas to a family of Polish musicians, pianist Adam Golka has won widespread critical and popular acclaim with his “brilliant technique and real emotional depth” (The Washington Post). A recipient of the Gilmore Young Artist Award and a fellowship from the American Pianists Association, he has performed with dozens of orchestras, from Seattle and Atlanta to BBC Scottish and Shanghai Philharmonic, and in recital at renowned venues and festivals. And he’s a North Texas favorite: he studied at TCU with his greatest musical influence, 1985 Cliburn Gold Medalist José Feghali, and has appeared with the Dallas and Fort Worth Symphony Orchestras and at the 2015 Cliburn Festival.

KENNY BROBERG PIANO 2017 CLIBURN SILVER MEDALIST THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2018 7:30 PM “He drew the audience in and didn’t let go until the last quiet note.”

— Culture Spot LA

Our 2017 Silver Medalist returns to make his first Cliburn Concerts appearance, after a debut season that included a recital tour in Hawaii and across the country; a return to his alma mater, the University of Houston, for its annual Texas Music Festival; and an acclaimed engagement with the Minnesota Orchestra deemed “highly auspicious… marked by poise [&] technical brilliance” by the Star-Tribune. A native of Minneapolis, Kenny Broberg won prizes at the Hastings, Sydney, Seattle, and New Orleans International Piano Competitions before taking home second in Fort Worth last year. He currently studies with 2001 Cliburn Gold Medalist Stanislav Ioudenitch.

CHRISTINA and MICHELLE NAUGHTON DUO PIANO THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 2019 7:30 PM “ Indeed, I’m ready to put them on a level with some of the greatest piano duos of our time…

They have to be heard to be believed.”

— The Washington Post

Christina and Michelle Naughton have been hailed by the San Francisco Examiner for their “stellar musicianship, technical mastery, and aweinspiring artistry.” They have captivated audiences around the globe with the unity created by their mystical musical communication; as they told the Wall Street Journal: “There are times I forget we are two people playing together.” The Juilliard and Curtis grads’ current season featured a Lincoln Center debut; orchestra appearances in Detroit, St. Louis, San Diego, and Puerto Rico; and engagements in New Zealand, Brazil, Belgium, and Spain. This appearance marks their North Texas debut.

MODERN ART MUSEUM OF FORT WORTH AMERICA’S GREAT COMPOSERS. UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

GABRIEL KAHANE COMPOSER 8980: BOOK OF TRAVELERS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2018 2:00 PM

8980: Book of Travelers is an attempt to rediscover and celebrate our collective humanity in the face of deep political and cultural divisions. The day after the 2016 presidential election, Gabriel Kahane set out on an 8,980-mile train trip around the continental United States with no phone or internet connection. The song cycle/monodrama that resulted etches a series of intimate character studies. Kahane is an American composer with a barrier-breaking career whose major label debut recording was deemed “one of the year’s very best albums” by Rolling Stone. He is also the son of 1981 Cliburn finalist and renowned conductor Jeffrey Kahane.

“MY FAVORITE THINGS”

AN ALL-PIANO LOVEFEST OF BELOVED BROADWAY SONGS

SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 2019 2:00 PM

The work of great Broadway composers—from Gershwin to Sondheim to Rodgers & Hammerstein—has helped to define the American experience. We learn many of their songs when we’re very young; they often become the soundtrack of our lives. Join us as we dive into the Great American Songbook, with piano transcriptions of many of its famous pieces by some of today’s most prolific composers (Stephen Hough, Earl Wild, Mason Bates, Jake Heggie, Ricky Ian Gordon) and performed by several of our favorite pianists. Discover the great storytelling that exists within the music itself in this afternoon of songs without words.

SCHEDULES AND VENUES TO BE ANNOUNCED. CONCERTS WITH YOUNG, EMERGING PIANISTS. FREE FOR ALL. Weeklong residences providing the experience of live music to a broad audience through partnerships with vibrant venues and organizations throughout North Texas

RACHEL CHEUNG 2017 CLIBURN FINALIST AND AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER

DECEMBER 6–11, 2018 “ The most sophisticated and compelling music making” — Dallas Morning News Steinway artist Rachel Cheung is the winner of the audience award and finalist at the 2017 Cliburn Competition.

In 2016, she was awarded the special prize at the New York Concert Artists Worldwide Debut Audition, which included a Carnegie Hall debut in 2018. Ms. Cheung has appeared with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Sydney Symphony, St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, and the London and Paris Chamber Orchestras. She has also performed recitals in Paris, Kiev, London, New York, Toronto, Miami, Shenzhen, and her native Hong Kong.

LEONARDO PIERDOMENICO 2017 CLIBURN SEMIFINALIST AND JURY DISCRETIONARY AWARD WINNER

“ He plays with the confidence of an artist completely secure in what they play. He has the musicianship and the technique to pull it off.”

— Theater Jones

APRIL 29–MAY 3, 2019 Italian pianist Leonardo Pierdomenico won the Raymond E. Buck Jury Discretionary Award at the 2017 Cliburn Competition, and his performance at the 2016 Queen Elisabeth Competition was included on its best-of-competition CD, released by harmonia mundi. He was named a fellow of the 2016 Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, working with artists such as Jeremy Denk, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Leon Fleisher. He has played recitals in Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, and in the major venues of Italy. In 2011, he was awarded a medal for his artistic achievements by Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.

AT SCAT JAZZ LOUNGE A CLASSICALLY ALTERNATIVE MUSIC SCENE.

AARON DIEHL TRIO

AARON DIEHL PIANO LAWRENCE LEATHERS PAUL SIKIVIE BASS

DRUMS

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2018 8:00 PM “…it’s hard to imagine that Gershwin would not have been impressed. The audience was: It gave Mr. Diehl an enthusiastic ovation.

He must be invited back.”

— The New York Times

Pianist Aaron Diehl is one of the most sought-after jazz virtuosos, consistently playing with what The New York Times describes as “melodic precision, harmonic erudition, and elegant restraint.” Diehl’s meticulously thought-out performances, collaborations, and compositions are a leading force in today’s generation of jazz contemporaries, spearheading a distinct union of traditional and fresh artistry. Recent highlights include serving as music director for the Jazz at Lincoln Center New Orleans Songbook concert series, performing in the New York premiere of Philip Glass’ complete Etudes at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and touring with Grammy®-nominated jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant.

A NIGHT OF CABARET with AVA PINE SOPRANO + JONATHAN BEYER BARITONE THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 2019 8:00 PM “Ava Pine…all but stole the show.

By turns seductive, determined, wounded and moved, she sailed sweetly through.”

— Opera News

“Beyer has the luxury of a robust, handsome voice, and promising years ahead.”

— Washington Post

Texas native Ava Pine dazzles audiences and critics with her rewarding vocalism and compelling commitment to character. Equally at home with opera, oratorio, or recital, the Grammy-nominated soprano has performed with the Wolftrap Opera, Opera Colorado, Fort Worth Opera, and BBC, Dallas, Fort Worth, Kansas City, and New Jersey Symphony Orchestras.

Baritone Jonathan Beyer has been hailed for his clear, commanding voice and memorable character interpretations. A prizewinner many times over, including the 2010 McCammon Voice Competition, he has appeared on many of the world’s stages for the Metropolitan, Boston, and Dallas Operas, and the orchestras of Philadelphia, Munich, and Chicago.

JOSHUA ROMAN CELLO THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 2019 8:00 PM “If all musicians were as affable as cellist Joshua Roman, there’d be no chatter about classical music and how it is in jeopardy or doomed to die a slow death in cavernous concert halls.”

— San Francisco Classical Voice Joshua Roman has earned an international reputation for his wide-ranging repertoire, a commitment to communicating the essence of music in visionary ways, artistic leadership, and versatility. As well as being a celebrated performer, he is recognized as an accomplished composer and curator, and was named a TED Senior Fellow in 2015. A pioneer in experiencing classical music in new ways, his multi-faceted career has seen: innovative online projects across platforms, curation of genre-bending festivals and events, and performances in clubs and cafes, outdoor amphitheaters, displacement camps and hospitals, and the world’s most illustrious stages.

FEBRUARY 14–17, 2019 I MODERN ART MUSEUM OF FORT WORTH with works by Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky, Debussy, Ravel, Fauré, Franck, & more In the early 20th-century, Paris experienced a Golden Age, becoming a center of intellectualism, art, politics, and innovation. It saw the opening of the World Fair, the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the perfection of champagne, major advancements in film, aviation, and medicine—and the ideal environment for artists to flourish: painters from Matisse to Picasso, and a generation of composers who, living in Paris, ushered in the new era of Modernism. A stellar group of artists-inresidence take us on a journey through one of the most inspired times in musical history.
