A cellist with a "superior sense of style" (Strad), Curtis graduate and Avery Fisher Career Grant winner, Sophie Shao, is one of the leading cellists of her generation. Based in New York, where she appears with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Shao returns to the Curtis Institute for her PCMS debut on Sunday, January 8th, 2012 at 3pm.

Since his triumph at the Naumburg International Piano Competition three decades ago, Philadelphia-born, Cologne-based pianist, Peter Orth, has attracted attention for the virtuosity and artistry of his playing.
