Dr. Choi to perform masterclass
Dr. Winston Choi, assistant professor of piano and head of piano studies of the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, will give a master class at Morehead State University on Monday, Feb. 1, at 10:20 a.m. in Duncan Recital Hall of Baird Music Hall.
The event is free and open to the public.
Laureate of the 2003 Honens International Piano Competition and winner of France’s 2002 Concours International de Piano 20e siècle d’Orléans, Canadian pianist, Dr. Choi is an inquisitive performer whose fresh approach to standard repertory, and masterful understanding, performance and commitment to works by living composers, make him one of today’s most dynamic young concert artists.
He has performed in recital with orchestras across four continents. He has collaborated with composers including William Bolcom, Elliott Carter, Brian Ferneyhough, Bernard Rands, Sven-David Sandstrom, Bright Sheng, Christian Wolff, Chen Yi and John Zorn.
Dr. Choi’s debut CD, the complete piano works of Elliott Carter (l’Empreinte Digitale in France), was given five stars by BBC Music.
Anybody wishing to perform for Dr. Choi should contact Dr. Paul Taylor, associate professor of music, at (606) 783-2405 or e-mail p.taylor@moreheadstate.edu.
