World renowned pianist Tedd Joselson celebrates his Golden Jubilee with a concert held today 2 July at Manasseh Meyer Concert Hall, 3 Jalan Ulu Sembawang.
The Belgian-American pianist had performed with the world's leading orchestras such as the Philadelphia Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestra, and hailed by the New York Times as possibly being "the next Horowitz", he now a Singapore resident.
This concert held at a 420-seat concert hall is his appreciation to the people of Singapore and the country he called home for the last two decades. Though he had a surgery 5 years ago due to voice box cancer, it does not stop his love for music. Miraculously he is now able to teach and perform against all odds and even had thrown a concert in June 2016.
Dr. Robert Casteels, a multi-talented composer, conductor, and former dean of the La Salle School of the Arts, will be conducting the ADDO Chamber Orchestra for the jubilee concert. His piano concerto specially written for this special occasion will be premiered at the concert.
Some of young and aspiring Singaporean pianists whom he hopes will follow in his footsteps and pursue a life of performing on the world's leading stages will be featured at the jubilee concert. They are Leslie Theseira, Nicholas Ho, Louis Page, Samuel Foo, Marc Yeo, Beatrice Sweeney, and Raksmey Touch.
