The UMLAUF Sculpture Garden & Museum on Thursday, May 11, 6-9 pm, hosts a spring installment of The Classical Garden, an elegant evening at the UMLAUF where guests experience musical performance in nature in the beautiful UMLAUF’s sculpture-filled setting. 

The spring 2017 performance will feature Chen Guang, 22, who is on tour from China and Italy. Guang is the winner of the 2016 Olga Kern International Piano Competition, the Scriabin Prize, the Rome Prize, and numerous other internationally-renowned competitions. Guang combines his extraordinary technical capacity with a profound and mature musical sensibility and an exceptional on-stage charisma. Numerous concert associations of Europe, America, and Asia have hosted him both in recitals and with orchestras performing programs ranging from William Byrd, to Ligeti to modern-day composers.

This world-class musician will perform an intimate outdoor concert on the UMLAUF terrace for 200 guests followed by a private sponsor dinner. Sponsor, VIP, and $35 general admission tickets are available online at http://www.umlaufsculpture.org/classical-garden-1.

Support for The Classical Garden reinforces the UMLAUF’s mission to exhibit the work of Charles Umlauf, his influences, and other contemporary sculptors in a natural setting, and provides educational experiences that encourage appreciation of sculpture.
