Midsummer MusicFest

This summer, some of classical music’s most exciting young artists from the world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music are coming to the 92NY stage. Curtis’ famed alumni include Anthony McGill, Yefim Bronfman, Lang Lang and many others. Hear the next generation of classical music’s great artists in three concerts at 92NY's Midsummer MusicFest!

Curtis at 92NY: Timothy Chooi, violin; Ji Su Jung, marimba

Friday, July 26, 7:30 PM

The final program of this season’s Midsummer MusicFest pairs internationally acclaimed violinist Timothy Chooi with Ji Su Jung, the first percussionist ever to be awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant. The artists present a program ranging from Piazzolla to Romantic works by Schumann and Kreisler to modern perspectives including a work by Keith Jarrett, blending violin and keyboard-leaning marimba. The program culminates in Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz’ Atlas Pumas, written for violin and marimba, and inspired by a soccer match – a playful end to the festival.
