  About Three Pianos

  Hanchien Lee

  Hanchien Lee is widely regarded as one of the rising stars of the new generation of pianists. Since her debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age sixteen, she has been a guest artist with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Muhlenberg College Piano Series and has won top prizes at the Heida Hermanns International Piano Competition, the Russell C. Wonderlic Piano Competition, and Yamaha Piano Competition.

  As a chamber musician, Lee has performed in the Sarasota Music Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Van Cliburn Piano Institute, and the Music Academy of the West. She is a member of the Yale School of Music quartet, which won the school’s chamber music competition.

  Lee made her solo debut at the age of seven at the Cultural Center in Taipei, Taiwan. At age eleven she began studies with Eleanor Sokoloff and Claude Frank at the Curtis Institute of Music. Following graduation, Lee studied at Yale University, earning both a Master’s Degree and Artists’ Diploma. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the Peabody Institute of John Hopkins University where she studies with Boris Slutsky.

The New York Times hailed his Carnegie Hall debut performance as “…irresistibly fluid” and the New York Concert Review raved that Zuber was “an especially thoughtful player who happens to possess technical brilliance.

  ” Zuber has appeared as a soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the South Bend Symphony Orchestra, the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, the Aspen Concert Orchestra, the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra, the Sydney Symphony, Ireland’s RTÉ National Symphony, the Korean Symphony Orchestra, and the New Millennium Festival Orchestra in Gijon, Spain.

After moving to the United States in 2000, he continued his piano studies with Neil Rutman and later, Ellen Mack.

  Asteria burst onto the national Early Music scene in 2004, winning Early Music America’s first Unicorn Prize for Medieval and Renaissance Music with a performance heralded by the New York Times as “intimate and deeply communicative…meltingly beautiful.” This engaging duo brings out the passion and emotional impact of late medieval music with timeless love songs of wide appeal, transporting their listeners back to the age of chivalry.

  About Asteria

  Asteria

  Asteria burst onto the national Early Music scene in 2004, winning Early Music America’s first Unicorn Prize for Medieval and Renaissance Music with a performance heralded by the New York Times as “intimate and deeply communicative…meltingly beautiful.” This engaging duo brings out the passion and emotional impact of late medieval music with timeless love songs of wide appeal, transporting their listeners back to the age of chivalry.

  Eric Redlinger

  Eric Redlinger’s skill on the lute and sweet tenor voice are complemented by his expertise in early music, earned through study at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and extensive archival research into original sources. Following graduation from Middlebury College, Redlinger spent several years immersing himself in the European musical archives of the Hague, Basel and Marburg. During this time he also did post-graduate studies in composition and musicology at the Frankfurt Conservatory of Music and studied medieval lute and voice at the Schola. He now makes his home in New York.

  Sylvia Rhyne

  Sylvia Rhyne brings to the partnership not only her quicksilver soprano but also a strong dramatic connection with the audience, gained from a career in musical theater. She has starred internationally as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera, and on Broadway as Joanna in Sweeny Todd.

  Raised in London and the Pacific Northwest, Rhyne grew up surrounded by classical music, opera and dance. She pursued a passion for early music at Carleton College, guided by Stephen Kelly, taking leading roles in early operas while pursuing a degree in music. She also studied with Wesley Balk at St. Olaf College and recorded with Dennis Russell Davies and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. In New York, Rhyne was invited to sing with the New York City Opera and began ongoing coaching with Marcy Lindheimer.

  Redlinger and Rhyne first connected while performing with John Hetland’s Renaissance Street Singers, a group that brings a cappella 15th and 16thcentury music to New York City sidewalks and parks. The pair immediately discovered their mutual interest in earlier repertoire and began meeting to work on late-medieval pieces, gradually developing their passionate approach to the music. Asteria’s performances convey the anguish and ecstasy of the poetry and the rapturous beauty of the interweaving vocal and instrumental lines.

  The result of Asteria’s exploration can be heard on their first two recordings of 15th-century chansons, Le Souvenir de Vous me Tue, and Soyes Loyal.

  Notes

  “Un Très Doulx Regard” (A Most Sweet Glance) is the result of extensive archival research into a relatively obscure but extremely rich period of Franco-Flemish music dating from approximately 1390 to 1440. The vast majority of these works are anonymous or simply unattributed, and the bulk are contained in just a few manuscripts, chiefly the celebrated “Ox. Can. Misc. 213” manuscript now housed at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, England.
