Welcome to the 2024-25 season of Master Players! This year promises to follow the tradition of excellence established by its founding director, Sean Gao. The professional concert series at the University of Delaware provides exemplary musical performances of the traditional juxtaposed with those that explore music’s boundaries. Professor Gao’s innovative approach blends impressive talent with carefully crafted programming of high caliber artists. In addition to producing extraordinary concerts, community outreach is an important part of Master Players’ mission.
The Backstage Pass initiative for college students is a fantastic way to enhance their concert experience and meet with talented musicians after concerts. The inclusion of educational presentations like “Creating Shanghai Sonatas,” a lecture concert, underscores the organization’s commitment to using music as a vehicle for promoting understanding, acceptance, and inclusivity throughout the community and beyond. I invite you to join us this season and experience a powerful means of expression and transformation, music.
Sincerely,
Suzanne L. Burton
Senior Associate Dean for the Arts, College of Arts and Sciences
