Virtuoso Pianist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner to Perform at The Sembrich
25 year-old virtuoso pianist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner will present a concert at The Sembrich on Saturday, July 1, 2023. Classical music near Lake George, NY doesn’t get much better than this! The celebrated young pianist and winner of the 2022 Concert Artists Guild Competition, will present a program entitled “Innovators,” featuring works by Schumann, Liszt, Haydn, Ponce, and Stravinsky.
“It is an honor to bring this gifted young artist to The Sembrich,” says Artistic Director Richard Wargo. “This performance will open our Alfred Z. Solomon Masterwork series and celebrate many trailblazing composers who created some of the most monumental works in the piano repertoire.”
“Mesmerizing artistry and extraordinary ability to communicate” (The Post-Standard) and “masterful technique and a veritable deluge of sonorities” (La Presse Montreal), describe 25-year-old Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner for performances that have stirred the intellect and humanity of his audiences on five continents. Selected a Gilmore Young Artist, an honor awarded to the most promising American pianists of the new generation, Sanchez-Werner’s multi-faceted artistry has been featured on NPR, PBS, CNN International, the Wall Street Journal, and WDR-Arte. Committed to public service, he received the Atlantic Council Young Global Citizen Award recognizing his dedication to social action through music.
This is the first event in The Sembrich’s Alfred Z. Solomon Masterwork series. Other performances in the series include "A Tribute to David Smith" with HUB New Music on Saturday, July 22 and chamber music by members of The Philadelphia Orchestra on Sunday, August 6.
