The orchestra will be joined on stage by Dr. Mei Rui, a Yale-trained molecular biochemist and internationally acclaimed concert pianist. Dr. Rui, a Bronze Medalist of the 2015 World Piano Competition, has been praised by the Boston Globe as a “riveting” virtuoso and by the New York Classical Review for her “extreme virtuosity.” Her performances have graced prestigious venues worldwide, including Carnegie Hall and the Louvre Auditorium in Paris. Equally active as a chamber musician, she has appeared at renowned festivals such as Ravinia and Yellowbarn. Dr. Rui’s exceptional talent and profound musicality will undoubtedly add a captivating dimension to the evening’s performance.
