ABOUT CHARLES YANG
Recipient of the 2018 Leonard Bernstein Award and described by The Boston Globe as one who "plays classical violin with the charisma of a rock star", Juilliard graduate Charles Yang began his violin studies with his mother in Austin, Texas, and has since studied with world-renowned pedagogues Kurt Sassmanshaus, Paul Kantor, Brian Lewis and Glenn Dicterow. He has performed as a soloist with orchestras and in concert in the United States, Europe, Brazil, Russia, China and Taiwan, and is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. Yang was the grand prize winner of the first Young Musicians Festival Competition in 2002 and won the Asian American Community Partnership Challenge Cup. In 2016 Yang joined the crossover string-band Time for Three.

ABOUT PETER DUGAN
Pianist Peter Dugan’s debut performances with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony were described by the Los Angeles Times as “stunning” and by the San Francisco Chronicle as “fearlessly athletic.” He is heard nationwide as the newly announced host of NPR’s beloved program From the Top. Dugan has appeared as a soloist, recitalist and chamber musician across North America and abroad. This year he makes his debuts at Wigmore Hall and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Dugan can also be heard as the piano soloist on a new release of Ives’ Fourth Symphony from Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony, a recording which The New York Times named one of the top classical albums of 2019.
