LEWISTON — Two of the new generation of concert pianists, Henry Kramer and David Fung, will return to the Gendron Franco Center, Friday, April 5 to present the fourth program of the 2018-2019 Piano Series season.
The recital, which begins at 7 p.m., will include both two-piano and solo works.
Kramer, a 2005 graduate of Cape Elizabeth High School, and an undergraduate and master’s degree student at the Juilliard School, recently received his doctoral degree from the Yale School of Music. In 2015, he received the Petschek Recital Debut Award from Juilliard and was second prize winner in 2016 at the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Competition, Brussels. He had also earned top prizes in the 2015 Honens International Piano Competition, Calgary, and the 2011 Montreal International Music Competition.
Fung, a native of Australia, garnered international attention as laureate of two of the “top five” international piano competitions, the 2008 Arthur Rubinstein Piano International Masters Competition, Tel Aviv, and the 2013 Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition, Brussels. In Tel Aviv, he received additional awards for Best Classical Concerto and Best Performance of Chamber Music. Recognized for his prodigious musical talent early on – he received the ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Award in 2002 – Fung went on to study piano with John Perry at the prestigious Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles. He later studied at the Hannover Hochschule für Musik and the Yale School of Music.
