Hello! For those interested, one of the most famous violinists performing today, Ray Chen will be making his Wharton Center debut coming up on Saturday, March 16.
Specially priced $19 student tickets are available (reg. $65-$25). Superstar violinist Ray Chen has it all: charisma for days, a deep musical sense, and incredible virtuosity. Featured on Forbes' list of 30 Most Influential Asians Under 30, a role in TV's Mozart in the Jungle, and much more, Ray Chen continues to inspire audiences around the globe. His performance with pianist Julio Elizalde puts his talents on full display with a program including the grandest in the violin repertory, Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 7 ("Eroica"), Bach's cheerful, high-spirited Partita No. 3 for solo violin, Giuseppe Tartini's fiendishly demanding Devil's Trill Sonata, Dvořák's romantic Slavonic Dance No. 2, a special arrangement of Chick Corea's Spain, and more.

"Ray Chen is a paradox: the epitome of cool, yet a man with a zany, anarchic and public sense of humour combined in a world-class violin virtuoso with a technique of fire and ice." -Sydney Morning Herald
"Colors dance, moods swing, and Chen's artistry blazes." -The Times, London
"Chen's full-bodied lyricism...made for beautifully contoured phrases in the violin's highest, riskiest registers." -The New York Times
"Ray Chen can do pretty much anything he wants on the violin."-The Washington Post
"Charismatic and expressive, he took up the work like a Romantic hero...his force evident in the many bow hairs he broke during the performance." - The New York Times
