Welcome to 3MBS's brand new Young Performer Summer Series.

Hosted by Jess Carrascalão Heard, each episode of the series will feature a live-to-air performance and interview with from some of the finest emerging classical musicians in Melbourne.

Episode 1 features pianist Po Goh with a sublime performance of Rachmaninov, Bach and Margaret Sutherland.

Po has just finished his final year at the Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music, where he has had the privilege of studying under Aura Go, Len Vorster, Robert Chamberlain and Dr Kenji Fujimura. Recent achievements include coming first place in Season 1 of 3MBS’ 2019 series of The Talent, as well as performing Rachmaninoff’s second piano concerto with the Monash Academy Orchestra under the baton of Jessica Cottis. Outside of solo performance, Po is active in high schools as a piano teacher and accompanist, and is also involved in amateur and semi-professional theatre productions as keyboardist and music director.

Programme:

Two Chorale Preludes on Bach Chorales, by Margaret Sutherland
Prelude and Fugue in B-flat Minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1, by J.S. Bach
