American rising star violinist and protégé of the legendary Itzhak Perlman, Randall Goosby performs works by Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Fauré, Chausson, and Schubert with pianist Zhu Wang at his Koerner Hall debut.

Goosby is acclaimed for the sensitivity and intensity of his musicianship alongside his determination to make music more inclusive and accessible, as well as bringing the music of under-represented composers to light. After making his debut with the Jacksonville Symphony at age nine, he performed with the New York Philharmonic at age 13 on a Young People’s Concert at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall and became the youngest recipient ever to win the Sphinx Concerto Competition.

Praised as “a superb pianist” by The New York Times, pianist Zhu Wang was awarded First Prize in the 2020 Young Concert Artists Susan Wadsworth International Auditions. In 2019, Zhu was finalist in the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, and he has been a featured soloist on WQXR’s Young Artist Showcase and WFMT’s Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts. His Carnegie Hall debut made The New York Times’ Best of Classical Music 2021 list.
