Béla Bartók was known for incorporating European folk tunes into his piano compositions. Yet in one of his most famous compositions, Suite Op. 14, Bartok decided to stray from his comfort zone to create a work that refined piano techniques.
“It’s my birthday,” Jisun Lee said in response to performing in the National Federation of Music Clubs’ Chautauqua Student Scholarship Recital from 2:30–5 p.m. Saturday in McKnight Hall.
The NFMC, founded in 1898, annually awards educational institutions, such as Chautauqua, for their promotion and presentation of American music.
Lee, who is turning 18, joins other scholarship winners in the recital, which displays the NFMC’s commitment to finding and fostering young musical talents.
