Cal State L.A.’s Oct. 26 concert
to honor the late Tzu Wei Huang

Los Angeles, CA – Cal State L.A.’s former string student Tzu Wei Huang, who died in an automobile accident in April 2007, will be remembered in a concert in his honor at Cal State L.A. Friday, Oct. 26.

The memorial concert, which will be at 8 p.m. in Music Hall on the Cal State L.A. campus, will feature faculty performers Jay Zhong, violin, Alan Mautner, cello, and Penny Pan, piano, with guest violinist Lisa Lhee, in a program of contemporary and romantic masterworks by Honegger, Bacewicz, and Mendelssohn.

All proceeds from this benefit concert will go to a newly-established String Ensemble Leadership Award, which will be given to a selected string student in Spring 2008.

Cal State L.A.’s String Program focuses on chamber music training of talented string players. The program is actively incorporating master classes that give students opportunities to work with internationally high-ranking string artists. Regular master classes and guest artist recitals, as well as interactive career forums, will widen the learning spectrum of CSULA’s string students.
