Winner of a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant, a prestigious Lincoln Center honor awarded to outstanding solo artists deemed outstanding in their field, Arnaud Sussmann has distinguished himself with his unique sound, bravura and profound musicianship. Minnesota’s Pioneer Press writes, “Sussmann has an old-school sound reminiscent of what you'll hear on vintage recordings by Jascha Heifetz or Fritz Kreisler, a rare combination of sweet and smooth that can hypnotize a listener. His clear tone [is] a thing of awe-inspiring beauty, his phrasing spellbinding.” A dedicated chamber musician, he has been a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center since 2006 and has regularly appeared with them in New York and on tour. 



 

 

Cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han’s multifaceted careers as concert performers, artistic directors, recording artists, educators, and cultural entrepreneurs distinguish them as two of today’s most influential classical musicians. Finckel and Wu Han have served as artistic co-directors of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS) since 2004. They are recipients of Musical America’s Musician of the Year award, one of the highest honors granted to artists by the music industry in the United States. They appear annually at the world’s most prestigious concert series and venues, as soloists and as chamber musicians.
