This special evening backstage at Merriweather Post Pavillion includes a live performance by young violinist Clarissa Bevilacqua, an international phenom and one of the stars of the reality series Hear Us. She started playing the violin at age five, and debuted at the Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago in front of ten thousand people when she was nine years old. She has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, and has given solo recitals and concerts in the United States and Europe.
Following Bevilacqua’s performance, audiences will be treated to a preview screening of Hear Us. The series shines a light on the true story of a violin prodigy, world-class cellist, and gifted pianist as they pursue their dream of becoming acclaimed classical soloists. Filmed on location in Italy, Germany, and the US, this talented trio of young musicians come together against all odds, as they are given the opportunity to play in one of Europe’s preeminent concert halls.
