September Bistro Concert

The Bistro Concert on Friday, September 18, will feature Irish pianist Eoin Fleming, who will be joined by three Shenandoah University students for an evening of classical music featuring works by Brahms and Mendelssohn.

Fleming began studying piano at age six. As a teenager, he was selected as one of only 23 young pianists from around the world to compete in the inaugural Junior Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. When Fleming entered Shenandoah Conservatory in 2016, he was already an accomplished young musician and a winner of the school’s Student Soloist Competition. He made his debut with the Shenandoah University Symphony Orchestra, performing the first movement of Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto.

In 2020, Fleming was invited to perform as a soloist with the Dublin Symphony Orchestra in a concert celebrating the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth. His international career continued to flourish, including a performance of Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto with the New York Concerti Sinfonietta at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall. In 2021, he won fifth prize in the prestigious Maria Canals International Piano Competition in Barcelona.  Fleming completed his master’s degree at Shenandoah University in May 2022 and following graduation, returned to his home in Dublin, Ireland.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., and admission is $10 at the door, (cash only). The Bistro Concert Series is sponsored by Atlantic Union Bank. SVWC is located at 300 Westminster-Canterbury Dr.  Phone 540-665-0156 for further details.
