EASTON — Chesapeake Music will present four young classical musicians in a free virtual concert on Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m., to be streamed at chesapeakemusic.org. The concert will be available online afterward for one week.

Violinist Randall Goosby and pianist Zhu Wang, both in their mid-20s, will perform Brahms’ Sonata No. 3 and works by Florence Price and William Grant Still. Before the concert, violinist Catherine Cho, artistic co-director of the annual Chesapeake Chamber Music Festival and Randall Goosby’s teacher at The Juilliard School, will interview Randall.

Following the Goosby/Wang concert, violist Molly Carr and pianist Anna Petrova – the Carr-Petrova Duo – will perform an exciting program of works by the “American Visionary” composers Florence Price, George Gershwin, and Amy Beach. The artists will introduce and discuss each selection.

“Viewers of this virtual concert are certain to be treated to a technically flawless, poetically inspired and immensely assured musical evening by these rising star artists. Chesapeake Music anticipates this concert will serve to inaugurate future rising star programs as Chesapeake Music pursues its mission to spread the joy of music throughout the year on the Eastern Shore and beyond,” Don Buxton, Executive Director of Chesapeake Music said.

Randall Goosby, who grew up in Memphis, Tenn., is the youngest-ever winner, at age 13, of the prestigious Sphinx Concerto Competition.
Zhu Wang was born in Hunan Province, China, and began studying piano at age 5. He pursued a baccalaureate degree at The Juilliard School and is continuing his study at the Curtis Institute.

The American violist Molly Carr and the Bulgarian pianist Anna Petrova began playing together in 2005 during their years at The Juilliard School and the Manhattan School of Music. Since then, the Carr-Petrova Duo has performed in world-renowned venues and music festivals across the globe.

Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Their debut album “Novel Voices” was released on Melos Records in October 2019 to critical acclaim.
