DISCOVERY CONCERT
After hearing both Guo and Parrish at the Young Concert Artists competition in 2022, we knew putting these two brilliant young artists together would be an unforgettable collaboration. For this special anniversary season, we’re excited to welcome this duo of fine talent as they present a program that has been specially curated for you!
Winner of the 2022 YCA Susan Wadsworth International Auditions, where she was awarded The Friends of Music Concerts Performance Award, The Harriman-Jewell Series Prize, and the Sinfonia Gulf Coast Prize, Chelsea Guo is one of the rare talents equally formidable as both a vocalist and a pianist. Chelsea was included in “Classic FM’s Rising Stars: 30 Brilliant Musicians We’re Celebrating in 2022”. Her dual artistry is featured in her 2021 debut recording on Orchid Classics, “Chelsea Guo: Chopin in My Voice”, which includes solo repertoire and repertoire in which she accompanies herself. Gramophone Magazine included the recording in their Essential New Albums and Classic FM featured Chelsea as a “Young Classical Star”.
Winner of the 2022 YCA Susan Wadsworth International Auditions, Joseph Parrish is a Baltimore native and holds degrees from the University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music and The Juilliard School.
As a current artist diploma candidate in opera studies at the Juilliard School, Mr. Parrish is passionate about giving back to the various communities that have nurtured him. He is a Music Advancement Program chorus teaching fellow, Gluck Community Service Fellow, and Morse Teaching Artist. Mr. Parrish is also a member of the inaugural cohort of Shared Voices, an initiative designed to address diversity, equity, and inclusion through collaboration between Historically Black Colleges and Universities, top conservatories, and schools of music in the United States with the Denyce Graves Foundation.
