19-year-old violinist Stephen Waarts has been applauded for his “uncommon, preternatural sense of tonal color and lyrical beauty on the instrument” (Washington Post). A multi-award winner, Waarts is the Frank S. Bayley Fellow at the Curtis Institute of Music, where he studies with Aaron Rosand. The recital will feature Chelsea Wang on piano.
