Background: |
The Premiere Trio features
CSUF faculty violinist Ernest Salem, cellist Bongshin Ko and
pianist Eduardo Delgado. Formed in 2000, The Premiere Trio
has electrified audiences throughout Southern California with
their brilliant music-making. A recipient of the 2002/03 President’s
Initiative Grant, the trio has just returned from a tour which
included a series of recitals and master classes in the mid-west
and Arizona in early 2003.
Violinist Ernest Salem has performed in
concerts and recitals across the United States. As an active
freelance musician in the Los Angeles area, he has performed
with the Los Angeles Mozart Orchestra, Long Beach Symphony,
Asian American Orchestra and South Coast Symphony. Formerly
he was concertmaster of the Wichita and Las Cruces Symphony,
principal second of the Minnesota Opera Orchestra and assistant
concertmaster of the Texas Chamber and Texas Opera Theater
Orchestras. As a chamber musician, Salem’s experience
is extensive, performing from Kansas to Minnesota and New
Mexico. Included among his teachers are Yfrah Neaman, Fredell
Lack and members of the Juilliard Quartet.
Bongshin Ko, cellist, has appeared worldwide
as a soloist and chamber musician collaborating with Sir George
Solti, Mstislav Rostropovich, Bernard Rands and others. Her
performances with Television-Radio Symphony of Moscow were
praised and hailed her “mastery of the instrument.”
Other international engagements include performances with
the Korean Broadcasting Symphony and the German Chamber Orchestra.
She has performed at music festivals from Germany to Japan,
and received over 30 international competition prizes. She
can be heard on several international recording labels, and
was chosen to perform the European and Asian premieres of
works especially composed to celebrate the 70th birthday of
cellist/conductor Mstislav Rostropovich.
Pianist Eduardo Delgado has consistently
been recognized by audiences and critics alike for the fiery
intensity he projects from the stage. Hailed as a “rare
musical personality” his appearances have extended across
the world, appearing as soloist with orchestras and in recital,
including a performance with Madame de Larrocha at the Richard
Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California. He has recorded
solo piano music of Albert Ginastera for MA Records in Tokyo,
and a set of Argentine Songs with Argentine tenor José
Cura for ERATO Records. His numerous awards and prizes include
the Vladimir Horowitz Award, the Martha Baird Rockefeller
Prize, and in 1999 he was recognized for his service and talent
in the world of music and awarded a medal by UNESCO in Buenos
Aires. |
