This Sunday, teen piano prodigies Jeffrey Lee and Colin Barnett-Hart, both co-winners of the prestigious Wells Music-Yamaha Piano Competition, will perform the popular Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 in B flat minor with the Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestra.
Created by Bob Baker of Wells Music, the Wells Music-Yamaha Piano Competition was first held at the store's location in Englewood, with 25 students competing. Now, 18 years later, it has grown to become the largest Yamaha piano competition in the country. Still hosted and sponsored by Wells Music, which is now located in Denver, the week-long event features more than 450 young pianists competing in different age divisions for trophies, plaques and scholarship awards. In addition, winners of the junior and senior divisions are given the opportunity to perform with Colorado orchestras.
The Breckenridge Music Festival presents "Austrian Masterworks" Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at the Breckenridge Riverwalk Center.
The program features the BMF Orchestra with guest soloists Jeffrey Lee and Colin Barnett-Hart, winners of the 2006 Wells Music-Yamaha Piano Competition.
The concert will feature the Tchaikovsky Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 23, Schubert's Symphony No. 2 in B-flat Major, D. 125, and the Mozart Requiem, featuring the Summit Choral Society and Front Range Choruses.
