Fundraising Dinner featuring Da Eun Choi and Brett Miller

Blackwood Arts proudly presents Dr. Da Eun Choi and Brett Miller to perform the brilliant pianistic masterpiece Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No 1 in B flat minor at this year's fundraising dinner. South Korean pianist Da Eun Choi earned her Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was awarded the Sidney M. Wright Endowed Presidential Scholarship. She serves as Staff Pianist at Youngstown State University and Principal Pianist of the Lima Symphony Orchestra. Brett Miller, one of Blackwood Arts' music scholarship winners in 2021, is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Orchestral Conducting at the Eastman School of Music. The Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto is one of the most famous works of all classical music. When asked her thoughts on this iconic piece, Dr. Choi replied: Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No 1 may appear grand and dazzling, yet beneath its brilliance lies profound emotional depth and intimate confession. Beyond its heroic stature, the concerto unfolds as a deeply human narrative in which vulnerability and strength exist in delicate balance. Through its journey between passion and lyricism, I hope to share with you a sincere and heartfelt resonance, fostering a moment of connection through our shared experience of the music. This is a unique opportunity to hear this Tour de Force masterpiece. The concert is a catered event with seating for only 48 patrons. Please register early.
