Proudly bringing the next generation of exceptional talent to northern Michigan! Experience the brilliance of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G Major, featuring the Gilmore Young Artist Elliot Wuu.

Praised for his “power, speed and finesse of artists twice his age” (Tribune Star), Elliot Wuu has captured audiences with colorful tones, sensitive musicality and emotional depth in his music.  Wuu, a Young Steinway Artist, was named a 2018 Gilmore Young Artist, one of the most prestigious awards bestowed every two years to two young pianists up to 22 years old. 

A proud recipient of a Kovner Fellowship Award at The Juilliard School, Wuu received his Bachelor of Music degree and continues his studies of Master of Music under the tutelage of Robert McDonald.

Also featured on the program are Felix Mendelssohn’s famed Symphony No. 4, “Italian Symphony”, inspired by the colors and atmosphere of Italy, and Rossini’s The Barber of Seville Overture. 

Praised for his “power, speed and finesse of artists twice his age” (Tribune Star), 2018 Gilmore Young Artist Elliot Wuu has captured audiences with colorful tones, sensitive musicality and emotional depth in his music. The day after his performance of the Grieg Piano Concerto with the Kent Philharmonic Orchestra, Wuu gives a solo recital for audiences in South Haven, featuring piano sonatas by Beethoven and Liszt, Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque, and Liszt’s Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude, from his 10-piece cycle Harmonies poétiques et religieuses.

Grieg’s Piano Concerto with the Kent Philharmonic Orchestra led by Libor Ondras, a work instantly recognizable from its dramatic opening chords. Also on the program are works by Czech composers Bedřich Smetana and Antonín Dvořák.

This festival we delight in the unknown, the surprising and the unexpected. In that spirit, music director Inon Barnatan has created a concert program for opening night that will not be disclosed in advance and which, like an Omakase meal at a sushi restaurant, invites you to trust the chef to create an unforgettable experience. Superstar conductor Alan Gilbert, principal conductor of Hamburg’s Elbephilharmonie and former music director of the New York Philharmonic, leads an all-star cast of musicians in an unmissable program of chamber and orchestral works, including a virtuosic showstopper, a lush symphony, and an iconic piano concerto.
