Event Details

Join us for an evening of fortepiano and cello repertoire performed by the third place winner of the Westfield International Fortepiano Competition held at Cornell University.  Hwang's performance at this prestigious competition received glowing reviews:

"Shin Hwang, who is currently pursuing a dual master’s degree in piano performance and fortepiano at the University of Michigan, performed Schubert’sSonata in A minor, D. 845 and the Piano Trio No. 2 of Beethoven. Hwang’s command of the historical instrument was clear from the first measure of the Schubert. The quiet melodies in the opening had the audience leaning in to hear the mystical tunes."
