The WQXR Classical Moonlighters Competition Winners' Concert

On

May 6, some of the best undiscovered classical musicians around New York City competed live in The Greene Space at WQXR for the station’s first-ever classical music competition for amateurs. A panel of celebrity judges—pianist Alessio Bax, Brentano String Quartet cellist Nina Lee, and Roomful of Teeth founding member Dashon Burton—chose the three grand-prize winners in each category: The Memianni Piano Trio (13–18 age group), vocalist Sarah Lucero (19–34 age group), and the Violas of Camerata Notturna (35+ age group). Hear why they were chosen at this live performance hosted by WQXR’s Elliott Forrest.

Presented in collaboration with WQXR.

Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
