Program
This program traces a powerful arc from explosive modern energy to timeless symphonic exhilaration. Inspired by Beethoven’s music, Unsuk Chin’s Subito con forza bursts onto the stage with razor-sharp rhythms and volatile color.
The concert will continue with the lyrical warmth of Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, featuring Mead Witter School of Music Assistant Professor of Violin Dawn Wohn. Its emotional candor takes the listener from rhapsodic intimacy to a finale of dazzling propulsion that will culminate in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, an incredible work of unstoppable momentum whose driving rhythms and ecstatic vitality have made it one of the most electrifying celebrations in the orchestral repertoire.

Dr. Kato Perlman continues to generously support the Perlman Piano Trio, providing annual awards for violinists, cellists and pianists, and occasionally additional musicians, in a prestigious student chamber ensemble, largely for undergraduate majors and one which draws a full house at annual concerts.
……
Michael Wu is a second-year M.M. in Collaborative Piano at the University of Wisconsin-Madison after graduating with a B.S. in Neurobiology and Piano Performance in 2024. He studies piano with Prof. Martha Fischer. Michael has been the pianist of the Perlman Piano Trio since 2021, being one of only two undergraduate students selected for that role in the trio’s 17-year history.
Michael has been the recipient of numerous accolades and has performed in venues ranging from Madison’s Overture Hall to Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium. He captured first prize in the 2020 Bolz Young Artist Competition, where he performed Liszt’s Totentanz with the Madison Symphony Orchestra in a live broadcast on Wisconsin Public Television.
At the age of 13, he captured first prize in the PianoArts Wisconsin Youth Piano Competition, culminating in six performances of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 1 as a soloist with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra. More recent awards include first prize in the Inaugural 2018 Steinway and Sons Competition and being selected as a winner of the 2021 UW-Madison Beethoven Competition. Michael has participated in a variety of summer music festivals, including the Interharmony International Musical Festival in Acqui Terme (2022), Cooper Piano Festival at Oberlin College (2016), and the International Institute for Young Musicians in Lawrence, KS (2017). He has worked in many masterclass settings with names such as Ann Schein, Peter Takács, William Grant Naboré, Kenneth Broberg, Daniel del Pino, Jennifer Hayge, Laura Ward, Sarah Daneshpour, and the Emerson String Quartet.
Outside of music, Michael enjoys traveling, reading, going to the gym, and pondering the meaning of life while stuck in traffic. Following his two-year master’s degree, he plans to attend medical school.
……
Benjamin Davies Hudson is a senior at UW–Madison studying violin performance with David Perry. In addition to violin at UW, he studies viola with Sally Chisholm. He is the violinist of the Perlman Piano Trio, a fellowship ensemble at UW sponsored by Dr. Kato Perlman.
Benjamin has won numerous competitions throughout highschool and college and has performed as a soloist with the UW Symphony Orchestra, Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra, and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.

……

This is his second year in the Perlman Piano Trio. In past summers, Akhil has participated in the Arianna Chamber Music Festival, the first year heavily focusing on quartet music whilst the second year shifted to a quintet engagement. He feels this helped establish a framework for musical collaboration. Other high school experiences include participation in honors orchestras, Solo & Ensemble, and All-State Orchestra, all of which encouraged him to continue playing. During studies at UW-Madison, he hopes to find further musical enrichment and summer festival opportunities.
Akhil’s hobbies include, but are certainly not limited to, table tennis, ice skating, and watching old television programs when the burden of academia is not too heavy.
