| About Adam Golka |
24-year-ol  d pianist ADAM GOLKA is the winner of two prestigious American awards: the 2008 Gilmore Young Artist Award and most recently the 2009 Max I. Allen Classical Fellowship Award of the American Pianists Association. In 2010, he made his Isaac Stern Auditorium debut at Carnegie Hall, playing Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto with the New York Youth Symphony, and in 2011, he performed all five Beethoven concertos in two consecutive nights with the Lubbock Symphony. In 2012, Adam replaced Andre Watts with the Waco Symphony performing the Brahms Second Concerto with only three days' preparation. Adam has amassed a broad repertoire for his age, performing more than twenty concertos and solo work that includes the thirty-two sonatas of Beethoven. He is also a dedicated chamber music and lieder collaborator. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Golka lives in New York City and is completing his studies with the legendary Leon Fleisher. Mr. Golka's websiteMr. Golka's Youtube ChannelAbout the Concert "This program connects three great composers - Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky," said Music Director LARRY RACHLEFF. "We begin with music from Stravinsky's gorgeous neoclassic ballet The Fairy's Kiss. Stravinsky claims Tchaikovsky as a great influence, so we'll hear one of Tchaikovsky's favorite symphonies, his Fifth: a brooding, rich, patriotic, glorious work. Tchaikovsky had an impassioned love for the music of Mozart, so we've invited young American pianist Adam Golka to play Mozart's 24th Concerto. Adam is making big strides around the world, performing with all the great orchestras. I knew Adam when he was a little boy growing up in Houston and I've had such great joy watching his career develop. "
