Filene winners in concert

“The Shostakovich piece I’m performing is exciting, while the Bach sarabande brings sweet sorrow into the program and finishes with an upbeat C major prelude,” says cellist George Dilthey ’16. “My Mozart piece tells a story,” adds pianist Lauren Soong ’16 with equal enthusiasm. “The composition is filled with excitement, anguish, and everything in between.”

Both first-year Filene Scholars, Dilthey and Soong are eager to share their musical talents with the Skidmore community in the Filene Scholarship Winners Concert, October 25 at 8 p.m. in the Arthur Zankel Music Center.  Read More.
