We’re coming to you LIVE from Merkin Hall at Kaufman Music Center in New York for a special recital featuring YCA artist Chelsea Guo (soprano and piano). This YCA debut recital celebrates the friendship and mutual inspiration in 19th century Paris between Polish composer Fréderic Chopin, and Spanish mezzo-soprano and acclaimed pianist Pauline Viardot.
A winner of the 2022 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions, Chelsea Guo is an established pianist and soprano who has appeared in Carnegie Hall, Wigmore Hall, as well as prominent venues across the United States, England, Austria, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, and Canada. She has performed as a soloist with the Moritzburg Festival, Orchestra LUMOS (formerly the Stamford Symphony), the New Jersey Symphony, and was formerly a Young Scholar of the Lang Lang Foundation, a young artist of the Artemisia Akademie at Yale, and a recipient of the US Chopin Foundation scholarships for four consecutive years.
