Finckel and Han open new Concerts International season

Lisa-Marie Mazzucco

The Wall St. Journal calls them "the power couple of chamber music."

The husband and wife duo of cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han open the Concerts International chamber music season Thursday October 13 at 7:30 pm in Harris Concert Hall on the University of Memphis campus. In this interview, they discuss their program, their tenure as co-directors of the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society, why they started their own record label, and more.

For tickets and more information, Concerts International at 901-527-3067 or cimemphis.org.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
