Vega Quartet featuring Gloria Chien (piano) + dinner beforehand

We return to the Emory's Schwartz Center for Performing Arts to hear the Vega Quartet with special guest Gloria Chien on piano. Gloria joins the Vega Quartet for a rarely-heard treat: Amy Beach’s romantic Piano Quintet.

Gloria's bio: Taiwanese-born pianist Gloria Chien has one of the most diverse musical lives as a noted performer, concert presenter, and educator. She made her orchestral debut at the age of sixteen with the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Thomas Dausgaard, and she performed again with the BSO with Keith Lockhart. Gloria is the founding Artistic Director at String Theory, a premier chamber music series in Chattanooga, TN. Together with her husband, violinist Soovin Kim, they are Artistic Directors at Chamber Music Northwest in Portland, OR, and Lake Champlain Chamber Music Festival in Burlington, VT. They were named recipients of Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Award for Extraordinary Service in 2021.
