HONEST BROOK SUMMER SEASON OPENS JULY 15
DELHI—The Honest Brook Music Festival will celebrate its 34th season of concerts in The Barn this summer with another stunning line-up of exciting, young musicians. The season will open with Saturday evening concerts on July 15 and July 22 at 7:30 P.M. and will continue on Sunday afternoons on August 6 and 13 with concerts at 3 P.M.
Chaeyoung Park, pianist, who will perform on July 15, has been praised in New York Concert Review as a passionate pianist who “does not play a single note without thought or feeling.”Embracing a broad range of the classical music literature, Park’s programs feature works ranging from the early French Baroque by Rameau, to Beethoven sonatas, to new music by living composers. She has performed with orchestras across the U.S.
Baritone John Moore will perform July 22 with pianist Adam Golka.Moore appears frequently in both Europe and the United States and is garnering praise for his energetic performances and burnished baritone in both operatic and concert repertoire. A graduate of the Metropolitan Opera’s Lindemann Young Artist Program, Moore has appeared in numerous roles at The Met Opera in New York.
Pianist Golka has won widespread critical and popular acclaim. He has performed with dozens of orchestras, from Seattle and Atlanta to the BBC Scottish and Shanghai Philharmonic, and in recital at renowned venues and festivals. He collaborates regularly in recital with Moore and other musicians.
The Balourdet Quartet — Angela Bae and Justin DeFilippis, violins; Benjamin Zannoni, viola; and Russell Houston, cello — will perform Sunday afternoon, August 6. The quartet has performed at festivals and series throughout the United States and has received numerous awards and prizes. It is premiering a new commissioned work by celebrated composer Karim Al-Zand, made possible through Chamber Music America’s Classical Commissioning Grant.
The Neave Trio will close the season on August 13 at 3 p.m. Since forming in 2010, The trio – violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura – has earned enormous praise for its engaging, cutting edge performances. Neave–a Gaelic word meaning “bright” and “brilliant”–has performed at many esteemed concert series and at festivals worldwide, and has held residency positions at Brown University, University of Virginia, Longy School of Music of Bard College, among many other institutions.
Founded in 1989 by Michael Cannon and the late Christopher Desler, the Honest Brook Music Festival has become a popular fixture of the classical music scene in Delaware County and the surrounding area.
