Cuyamaca College’s ECHO Chamber Music Series concludes its 2018-19 season May 22 when violinist Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu and pianist Orion Weiss return to the Samuel M. Ciccati Theatre for an evening of Mozart piano and violin sonatas.

Wu has enjoyed a versatile international career as a soloist, chamber musician and educator who performs regularly in Asia, Europe and North America. Weiss, one of the most sought-after soloists of his generation of young American musicians, has performed with the Chicago Symphony, Boston Symphony, Toronto Symphony and New York Philharmonic, among others.

“Cuyamaca College is incredibly fortunate to present Tien-Hsin and Orion,” said Julianna Barnes, president of Cuyamaca College. “The Samuel M. Ciccati Theatre is the premiere performance venue for East County, and with the support of Sam Ersan we are able to bring an exceptional caliber of artist to the East County community.”

The ECHO Chamber Music Series (East County Harmonics Organization) is underwritten by Ersan, a vice chairman of the San Diego Symphony Board of Directors. He has helped transform the chamber music landscape in San Diego County through his support of numerous classical musical initiatives. The series was launched in spring 2018.

General admission tickets for the May 22 concert – which is set to start at 7:30 p.m. – are $10 for advance purchase at EchoChamberMusic.org, or $15 at the door. Tickets for students are $5. Parking is free.

The Samuel M. Ciccati Theatre is in Cuyamaca College’s Samuel M. Ciccati Performing Arts Center, 900 Rancho San Diego Parkway in Rancho San Diego, 92019. For further information call (619) 660-4288.
