Rachmaninoff, Ravel, and Shostakovich | Memphis Chamber Music Society

Kacky Walton talked with critically acclaimed pianist Victor Santiago Asuncion, who has performed worldwide as a recitalist and concerto soloist.

He’ll be joined by violinist Marcin Arendt and cellist Alexander Hersh on Sunday, November 24, to perform a program of Rachmaninoff, Ravel, and Shostakovich as part of the Memphis Chamber Music Society’s concert series.

No stranger to this series, Victor will take over as Artistic Director when Founder Marsha Evans retires at the end of this season.

I owe my radio career to the Ford Motor Company. My daddy had a Ford dealership in our hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and he thought it would be cute if his 7-year old daughter did his radio commercials. The pay wasn't great, just a pack of Wrigley's gum, but I was hooked on radio from then on.
