Regular subscribers to our concerts are familiar with many of the great
achievements and honors which have adorned Charles Wadsworth's career. They also know of his versatility, his finely tuned talents as a pianist
and host. Perhaps not as well known are his behind-the-scenes activities.
As an impresario, he works painstakingly arranging concerts and tours.
Residing in New York, he knows all the top musicians who live or perform
there, and he selects only the finest. At concert rehearsals he is the stage
manager. Everything must be perfect — lighting, sound equipment,
placement of furniture, etc. Two weeks ago, his demand for perfection
had him walking down Broughton Street. He had mistakenly packed a
brown pair of socks, so he set out to buy a black pair. His appearance
on stage required it.
Jeremy Denk's unusual background includes a double degree in
chemistry and piano from Oberlin College, a master's degree from
Indiana University and a doctorate from the Juilliard School. Widely
travelled as a solo musician and a chamber music performer, including
80 appearances with violinist Joshua Bell, he keeps a weblog, "Think
Denk", a mixture of observations, musical and otherwise.
Born in the U.S., Soovin Kim started to play the violin at age 4, and was
accepted in the Cleveland Institute at age 15. Later he attended the
Curtis Institute of Music. His career has included extensive tours of
North America, Europe and Asia, with appearances at major venues and
with leading orchestras. Among his several top honors is a coveted Avery
Fisher grant. He lives in New York with his wife Joanne, and he teaches
at Yale and at Bard College.
A native of Cincinnati, Edward Arron made his New York debut at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art where he is now the Artistic Coordinator.
He is in great demand throughout the concert world. As the Associate
Director of the Charles Wadsworth Concerts, he will appear in
Savannah at all four concerts of Charles Wadsworth & Friends. Having
narrative skills as well as a unique musical talent, he will take part in the
descriptive remarks before each selection.
