Classical Concert Series

Frisson Winds

Monday, October 21, 2024 | 7:30 PM | Sunrise Theater

Due to the backlog in processing visas for Canadian artists to perform in the U.S., Quartetto Gelato will not be able to open our series this year. We are working to book them for next season. Keeping with our tradition of presenting amazing music artists, we are excited to present the FRISSON WINDS.

Frisson Winds features some of the best and brightest of classical music’s stars by showcasing emerging young artists as well as seasoned professionals.  In just a few seasons the group has skyrocketed to become one of the leading classical music groups in the field. The members of Frisson all have impressive biographies and many have performed at such prestigious venues as the Verbier Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Marlboro Festival, and Ravinia Festival, as well as in New York City at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.  A Frisson Winds concert will feature a wide variety of music for winds of various combinations, such as trios, quartets and quintets playing music by such composers as Beethoven, Mozart, William Grant Still, Gershwin, and more.

An imaginative and electrifying performer, ZEE ZEE is unique among the young generation of pianists. Her interpretations and communicative abilities have been praised as “taking us to another reality” (Belgischer Rundfunk), while her creative maturity has been hailed as powerful and passionate. Soon after beginning her musical training in Berlin, Germany at the age of five, she quickly became one of the most sought-after young artists of her generation. Having performed with the world’s leading orchestras, conductors, and other musicians, Zee Zee comes to Moore County to dazzle us all!
