Written By: Brenda Baldwin | Issue: 2018/07 - July
The Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival will celebrate the conclusion of its 37th season on August 12 with a Final Gala Concert and Dinner featuring the illustrious Pinchas Zuckerman Trio.
A phenomenon in the world of classical music for over four decades, Pinchas Zuckerman displays his musical genius and prodigious technique to captivated audiences. Joined by Amanda Forsyth on cello and Angela Cheng on piano, this acclaimed ensemble has appeared in Japan, China, Australia, Spain, Italy, France, Hungary, South Africa, Russia, and the United States.
A review from the Sydney Opera House proclaimed, “With maestro Pinchus Zukerman’s matchless musicianship and charisma at its core, this is a trio made in heaven. Amanda Forsyth brings passion and formidable technique as a cellist, and pianist Angela Cheng is the dream accompanist who lives every note.”
Equally lauded as a conductor as well as an instrumentalist, Zuckerman has led many of the world’s top ensembles in the orchestral repertoire’s most demanding works. He is Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s Artist in Residence. His extensive discography contains over 100 titles and has earned him 2 Grammy awards and 21 nominations.
Amanda Forsyth was principal cellist at the National Arts Centre Orchestra and is recognized as an eminent recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician, appearing with leading orchestras in Canada, the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Canadian pianist Angela Cheng performs throughout North America as a recitalist and orchestral soloist. She was Gold Medalist of the Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Masters Competition and the first Canadian to win the prestigious Montreal International Piano Competition.
This highly anticipated concert will take place at Highlands Performing Arts Center at 5:00 P.M. followed by dinner at Highlands Falls Country Club. Call (828) 526-9060 or email [email protected] for tickets. Tickets are also available online at h-cmusicfestival.org.
