CHS Students selected for the e-Junior Festival Master Classes and Evening Performances

Kenny Broberg, Austin Frohmader, Lucas Jones, and Michael Tang have been selected, by audition, to perform in the Master Classes and Evening Recital at the e-Piano Junior Festival.  This event is an intense one-day experience for 12 of the finest pianists in the region. The e-Piano Junior Festival will be held on Thursday, July 7, at Sundin Music Hall at Hamline University.  It is part of the International e-Piano Junior Competition held the week of July 4.  The four international judges for the competition will be the presenters of the Master Classes.  The four Master Classes are each two hours in length and go throughout the day.

Michael will be first to perform in the Master Class of German pianist, Sontraud Speidel, at 10:00-noon. He will be performing Beethoven’s 32 Variations in C minor, Wo Opus 80.  Kenny and Austin will both be performing for the Israeli pianist, Arie Vardi, in the 12:00-2:00 pm Master Class.  Kenny will be performing the first movement of  Samuel Barber’s Sonata in E-flat minor, Opus 26, and Austin with be performing the Sonata No. 3 in A minor, Opus 28 of Prokofiev.  Lucas will be performing in the final Master Class of the day, from 4:00-6:00 pm, for Jerome Rose. Lucas will be performing Franz Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 11.

It is our hope that a number of our students and parents will be able to attend one of the Master Classes to support and enjoy our young men’s performances.  But we hope many of you will be able to attend the Evening Performance at 8:00 PM.  Kenny, Austin, Lucas, and Michael will be performing their works in their entirety in a regular concert setting.  They will constitute 4 of the 12 players selected for this prestigious event.

Yours in Music,
