This event continues MEF’s Junior/Senior series, which aims to present seasoned performers of teaching age with emergent younger artists who may have studied with them. Cho-Liang Lin, a native of Taiwan, made his way to Juilliard as a teenager via a master class with Itzhak Perlman and eventually joined the faculties at Juilliard and at Rice University. He invited two young violinists who have studied with him, So Jin Kim and Qing Yu Chen, to join MEF’s October 22 concert as assisting artists.
Orion Weiss, pianist for the MEF program, aside from a busy concert and recital schedule, takes part regularly in a teaching residency for gifted young musicians in Medellin, Colombia. The remaining guest artists for MEF’s program, the Verona Quartet, were mentored by the Pacifica Quartet at Indiana University, where they became IU’s first quartet-in-residence. Nowadays they themselves frequently mentor other players and groups.
