-Marching Band's Jingxuan Zhang aka king of the teeter-totter to perform a benefit concert. All proceeds to benefit the Performing Arts Department.
Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Dale E. Graham Auditorium at Carmel High School
Admission: $5
In Jingxuan Zhang’s own words-- I will play a benefit concert for the Performing Arts Department, since the economic crisis forced the school board to cut their budget. It will be a concert around 50 minutes (for people with ADHD). For people who don't know me, I have been studying piano for 11 years now. I am blessed with the most wonderful teachers throughout my migrating, moving, emigrating, etc! They have taught me so much about music. Because of this, I have won competitions both locally and nationally. I have performed with both the IU Orchestra and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. In addition, I was a performer on NPR's radio show From the Top, receiving one of its top scholarships. Please come for a good cause, and some aural treats)
Jingxuan ("Jing") Zhang is truly a gifted individual - some of his accolades include winner of numerous national awards, presentation of a solo recital at Carnegie Hall, soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and winner of the IU Jacobs School of Music Piano Concerto Competition.
