As the world returns to life from more than a year of isolation and quarantine, live music to thrill in-person audiences returns to the stages of our world: Announcing Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ 2021 – 2022 Chamber Music Series. Each year, the Center’s series presents ensembles and musicians who have reached the pinnacle of the classical music world. This season’s series includes the return of series favorites Emerson String Quartet, Takács String Quartet, St. Lawrence String Quartet, Calidore String Quartet and the Auryn Quartet, plus series debuts of the Esmé and Mozart Piano Quartet. Guest soloists are pianist Stephen Prustman returning with the St. Lawrence String Quartet and soprano Monica Shober in her Chamber Music Series debut, Armen Guzelimian will perform with the Auryn Quartet and baritone Benjamin Howard in his series debut, and Soo Yeon Lyuh will appear with Esmé String Quartet.

He received a Master of Music degree from the University of Southern California, where his principal composition teacher was Morten Lauridsen.
