Hear
a young pianist on the cusp of a brilliant concert career!
The
Estelle Bell Concert Series is proud to annually present the gold medal winner
of the Shreveport Symphony's Nena Plant
Wideman Piano Competition. The Wideman competition is held in Shreveport,
La., and the winner is awarded a professional performance as soloist in a concerto
with the Shreveport Symphony. The Wideman Competition has a long and distinguished
history of choosing young artists who have gone on to international careers,
including
Stanislav Ioudenitch who, following his win in Shreveport, went on to capture
first prize at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Recent winners
include Esther Park, who recently captured the Gina Bachauer Prize at the Juilliard
School, Kostyantyn Travinskyy, an exciting young pianist from the Ukraine who
specializes in the music of Liszt, and the dynamic Tatiana Tessman, from Russia.
Last season Yoonjung Han dazzled us with her thoughtful musicianship and effortless
technique. This
is
always
an
event
looked
forward
to
with
excitement
and
anticipation.
