\n\n\n\n

Structured in four parts, this program explores women\u2019s voices of past and present, and searches for connections that transcend national borders. Each leg of our journey departs with a selection from Lera Auerbach<\/strong>\u2019s preludes for cello and piano, travelling back to the 19th<\/sup> century to connect with music by American composer Amy Beach<\/strong>, French composer Nadia Boulanger<\/strong>, and German composer Clara Schumann<\/strong>. Ultimately, we complete the circle back home to America, closing the program with the resonating melody of \u201cDreaming\u201d by Amy Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognized for his \u201cclarity and an approachable sensitivity\u201d (The Boston Musical Intelligencer<\/em>, 2019), cellist Joseph Gotoff<\/strong> is recognized as a thoughtful and passionate performer, scholar, and teacher. With a repertoire spanning the Baroque to the modern era, Dr. Gotoff works closely with a number of contemporary composers, having premiered works by Lowell Liebermann, Cody Forrest and Binna Kim. A sought-after collaborator, his performances as a founding member of the award-winning Petrucci String Quartet have garnered wide acclaim in the United States and abroad. In 2020, his debut album \u201cThe Voice of the Cello\u201d was released to critical acclaim on the Spice Classics label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Gotoff appears as a soloist and chamber musician in concert halls across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Some highlights of past seasons include a 19-city concert tour of China with the award-winning Petrucci String Quartet, recitals at the Harvard Musical Association, and a performance of Elgar\u2019s Cello Concerto with the Thames Valley Youth Orchestra. Dr. Gotoff\u2019s talents have been recognized with a number of awards, including a grant from New England Conservatory to study Beethoven\u2019s string quartet manuscripts, as well as NEC\u2019s Guest Artist Award, which afforded him the opportunity to share the stage with the renowned Borromeo String Quartet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Gotoff joined the faculty of Towson University in 2021, where he now serves as Assistant Professor of Strings; he also teaches at the Levine School of Music in Washington, D.C.

Born in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Dr. Gotoff began playing the cello at age ten, and from an early age developed a love for chamber music. He was one of the last students of the renowned cellist Orlando Cole, and went on to work closely with the Brentano String Quartet while studying evolutionary biology at Princeton University. Other teachers include Ann Kindig, Tom Kraines, and Barbara Stein-Mallow. Dr. Gotoff received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from New England Conservatory, studying with Yeesun Kim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pianist Wan-Chi Su<\/strong> has performed in Asia, Europe, and the United States as a soloist and collaborative artist, at major venues including Carnegie\u2019s Weill Recital Hall, Salle Cortot in Paris, and Taiwan National Concert Hall. Reviewing her performance with the PostClassical Ensemble at the Washington National Cathedral, the American Scholar<\/em> noted that she \u201cplayed with sensitivity and imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorated with numerous awards, Dr. Su won first prize in the Taiwan Cultural Cup Invitational Piano Competition, and the Taiwan National Student Music Competition in Piano. She has been invited to numerous music festivals, including the Taos School of Music, the Beethoven Institute, both the Icicle Creek Piano Festival and the Icicle Creek Chamber Music Festival, the NTSO International Piano Program in Taiwan, and the Paris Piano Program in France.

She holds a Master of Music, a Graduate Performance Diploma, and a Doctor of Musical Arts from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, studying principally with Seth Knopp and Benjamin Pasternack.
