Noonday Concerts at Grace Church
30 minute concerts every Wednesday. Free admission, donations are greatly appreciated.
 January 10: Jun Hwi Cho, pianist, became the First Prize Winner of The Seventh New York International Piano Competition in June 2014. He was awarded a recital at The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Robert Battey reviewed Mr. Cho's recital in The Washington Post: "In Liszt's Dante Sonata, the pianist, whose technique is already well formed, showed a mature sense of drama and timing, projecting clarity in the thunderstorms and ranging freely through the music. This was a secure, fully professional performance - admirable from any musician, let alone from a teenager."
