mance, I was in complete awe. Argerich commanded that concert like she could play it in her sleep. She played the entirety with such ease, barely looking at the keyboard for the most part. The riveting energy of the hall and the audience is something I still remember to this day.” Sterling: “I recently had the honor of performing Tchaikovsky’s ‘Rococo Variations’ with the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl during the Tchaikovsky Spectacular, one of their most popular events of the year. This stunning amphitheater is a truly unique concert venue, as it not only seats upwards of 17,000, but also features a variety of music from artists such as Stephen Marley, Billie Eilish, and classical musicians such as myself! The incredibly affordable tickets and informal setting of the Bowl work extraordinarily well to bring in a number of audience members that may not be frequent concertgoers. The excitement and energy of the sold-out show at such a venue were palpable with deafening silences during cadenza sections of the ‘Variations,’ as well as whistles
and cheers after virtuosic riffs. It was quite spectacular to experience such spirit and exuberance from an audience, especially after so many months of performing for only microphones and cameras!” For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit www.chesapeakemusic.org.
