IVCI Laureates Series Continues

The International Violin Competition of Indianapolis Laureate Series presents "Scenic diversions" featuring David Chan, Bronze Medalist at the 1994 Competition and now Concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera.

The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. 3 February in the Indiana History Center, 450 West Ohio Street, Indianapolis.

Joining him in this mixed program of music for violin with piano and piano solo is collaborative pianist Jeewon Park.

Chan's picturesque program includes Arvo Pärt's minimalist Fratres (a piece recently used in the 2007 film There Will Be Blood), Szymanowski's impressionistic Fountain of Arethuse, Wieniawski's Fantasy on Themes from Gounod's Faust, and Schubert's Impromptu in G-flat Major for piano solo, D. 899.
