The esteemed Professor of Piano at Stetson University, Dr. Sean Kennard, will join us for an evening of inspiring music. As a graduate of Curtis, Julliard, and Yale, Dr. Kennard has become a highly sought-after performer. In 2009 he was one of two pianists named "Vendome Virtuosi" at the Vendome Prize in Lisbon. He was a Laureate of the 2013 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels where he performed in the final round with the National Orchestra of Belgium conducted by Marin Alsop. In 2014, he was the sole musician chosen to receive the Mustard Seed Foundation's Harvey Fellowship Award, a cash stipend given to exceptional Christian students in top tier graduate programs around the world. Patrick Rucker of the Washington Post said of his performance of Beethoven's Sonata Op. 57 "Appassionata" that he played with "powerful and involved musicmaking."
