The Riverfront Children’s Center of Groton hosts ‘An Afternoon of Classical Music for Piano” on Saturday, March 13, at 3:00pm, at the Sheffield Auditorium of the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme on Ferry Road.
Canadian Lucas Wong will present “Capriccioso”, a benefit recital of works by J. S. Bach, George Crumb, T. Patrick Carrabe, and Frederic Chopin.
Mr. Wong is a multi-faceted pianist and a keen interpreter of contemporary works. He made his orchestral debut at age 21, playing Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto with Canada’s UBC Symphony Orchestra and the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra.
Since then, his artistry has taken him to some of the most prestigious concert halls and festivals in the world, including Banff Summer Music Festival in Canada, New York City’s Carnegie Hal, the Montreal Centre Pierre-Péladeau, the Chan Center for the Performing Arts in Vancouver, the Concours International de Musique de Chambre de Lyon.
Mr. Wong is currently a teaching fellow at the Yale Department of Music, a visiting coach-accompanist of the Yale Opera and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music programs.
