You’re learning the notes, you’re getting the hang of it, you know that excitement that’s so appropriate for the piece, it never fades.”Ĭhen has played the piece for much of his career, but he feels that it will always be fresh. “Mendelssohn is one of probably the first few concertos that you learn that’s a major concerto,” Chen said. He first learned the piece when he was 10 years old. This concerto holds a special place in Chen’s heart. “I think Chatauquans will love Ray Chen, not only for his artistry, but for how he connects with audience and fans.” The program will then shift to Chen, the first prize winner of the Yehudi Menuhin Competition in 2008 and Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2009, who will perform “Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto” in E minor, which Savia considers to be the essential violin concerto.
