PROGRAM<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Wikipedia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winterreise <\/strong><\/em>(Winter’s Journey) is the second and final true song cycle by Franz Schubert (1797-1828). It was written in two parts at the beginning and the end of 1827 and uses poems by Schubert’s near contemporary, Wilhelm M\u00fcller (1794-1827). Schubert drew from M\u00fcller’s poetry for both Winterreise and his earlier song cycle Die Sch\u00f6ne M\u00fcllerin <\/em>(The Miller’s Daughter, composed in 1823). While both cycles discuss the hurt that comes with rejection, Winterreise is a more mature work, both in style and in substance. As our D.C. summer draws to a close, this concert provides a window onto the icy landscape of a fantasy winter in the Vienna woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOGRAPHY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailed by the Baltimore Sun for the shining color in his voice and the spark and nuance of his acting, by the Washington Post for tackling challenging music with aplomb, and by the New York Times for his contained ferocity in concert, Andrew Sauvageau<\/strong> brings life to the characters he sings, both in operatic and in concert settings. His diverse repertoire spans six centuries, from music of the renaissance to the present day.
Andrew has appeared in performances at the Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, The London Barbican with the BBC Symphony, The National Gallery of Art, Tanglewood Music Festival, Baltimore’s Walters Art Gallery and ArtScape, and Washington\u2019s Capital Fringe. Andrew has a particular affinity for Romantic Lieder, and a strong love for 20th century and contemporary song. He has premiered several works by emerging composers including Ruby Fulton, Jake Runestad, Nicholas Vines and Joanna Lee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew has recorded on Naxos with Opera Lafayette and has sung regularly with Opera Henriette, Washington Bach Consort, Washington National Opera, and The National Cathedral. He studied with Milagro Vargas at University of Oregon, and at Peabody Conservatory with William Sharp, where he worked frequently with Phyllis Bryn-Julson and John Shirley-Quirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pianist Hui-Chuan Chen<\/strong> leads a diverse career as a concert pianist, chamber musician, and educator. She has performed widely throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, and has appeared in major performance venues, including Carnegie Hall (Weill Recital Hall), The Kennedy Center Concert Hall, and The Supreme Court of the United States of America. She has featured at the Aspen Music Festival (Aspen, CO), The National Gallery of Art and The Phillips Collection in Washington DC, the Barge Music Festival in New York City, The Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy, the Walters Arts Museum and An Die Musik in Baltimore, MD, and the Heifetz International Music Festival in Staunton, VA.  Hui-Chuan has collaborated and toured with celebrated soloists, including Amit Peled, Marina Piccinini, Demarre McGill, Chee-Yun Kim, Jennifer frautschi, and Robert McDuffie.. She returns regularly to The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University as a collaborator and is a long-term partner of the Washington International Competition, The National Symphony Orchestra Youth Fellowship Program, and the Arts Club of Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since completing her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at The Peabody Institute, Hui-Chuan is devoted to teaching and academia. She previously served as faculty and collaborative position for the Peabody Preparatory of the Johns Hopkins University,Washington Conservatory of Music, the National Symphony Orchestra, and the Heifetz International Music Institute. She currently accompanies recitals with faculty and students at Peabody institute of the Johns Hopkins University and teaches at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.  For the 2025-26 season, Dr. Chen will be taking stage as the newly appointed Principal Pianist of the Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera, and continued performances with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra.Other ensemble and chamber performances include woodwind quintets with Army Field Band members, and two Piano Trios, with Trio Brillante featuring Flutist, Giorgio Consolati and Cellist Natalia Vilchis, and the Ann Street Trio, with Clarinetist Erik Franklin and Cellist Katlyn DeGraw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hui-Chuan will also return to Emerson Avenue Salon two times, first Winterreise with tenor, Andrew Sauvageau, and again with flutist Giorgio Consolati. And finally, this season will be closing the inaugural chapter of Dr. Chen’s \u201cStanding on Giant\u2019s Shoulder\u201d project \u2013 Beethoven Reimagined, by celebrating the release of her recording of Op. 106 HammerKlavier and the accompanying commissioned work Impromptu #2 by Daniel Pesca, with the final performance of the program at the University of Maryland Baltimore County’s Linehan Concert hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
