Zitong Wang, the 2023 Summer Festival Protégé Project Pianist, is now a sought-after solo pianist globally. She has emerged as one of the most compelling voices of her generation, captivating audiences with her fiery bravura and poignant sensitivity. She has performed with major orchestras and as a chamber musician across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. In 2025, she won the Bronze Medal at the prestigious International Chopin Piano Competition, as well as the Krystian Zimerman Award for Best Performance of a Sonata. CMNW audiences raved about her 2023 festival performances, and now, more than three years later, Portland welcomes Zitong back for an intimate, self-curated concert of Chopin, Robert Schumann, and Liszt. This is a must-go experience in this intimate 100-seat venue.

The Protégé Recital Series is sponsored by Peter and Ann van Bever.

A unique and exciting new musical performance based on Anthea Kreston’s memoir, Crescendo: Chronicles of an Adventurous Violinist. In Crescendo, her enchanting and deeply personal memoir, Kreston writes about growing up in a well-to-do but difficult family in Chicago, leaving home at sixteen, studying at the ultracompetitive Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia (Hilary Hahn was a classmate), then leaving it all behind for a commune in Oregon. With a mix of thrilling violin performance and spoken word taken from her memoir, Anthea brings the audience through the journey of her life through live music and personal anecdotes.
