There will be concerts by Ilya Rashkovskiy, Jinsang Lee (past winners of the Hong Kong International Piano Competition), cellist Giovanni Sollima with Giuseppe Andaloro, a special 2-Piano 2-Cello concert featuring a unique transcription of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, a recital by the 1st Prize winner of the 2013 Queen Elisabeth International Piano Competition, and guitarist Alvaro Pierri.
