SUMMARY:Concert Hall on Wheels: The Concert Truck
DESCRIPTION:For five days\, a converted box truck transforms into a full concert hall\, complete with a grand piano\, and brings seven free outdoor performances to venues across Nassau County. Created by pianist Susan Zhang\, The Concert Truck takes classical music out of the recital hall and into parks\, sidewalks\, and public spaces\, no ticket required. Zhang performs each stop herself\, alongside violinist Maya Kilburn and other performers to be announced\, bringing the same artistry you’d find on any Festival stage to wherever people happen to be.  \nExact dates\, times\, and locations will be announced on this page and on social media closer to April 2027. \nThe Concert Truck\nThe Concert Truck is a mobile music ­venue that strengthens communities by ­redefining the ­concert experience and making live ­music ­accessible to all. Led by Artistic Director ­Susan Zhang\, the ­project aims to engage diverse ­communities and ­audiences ­nationwide with ­thoughtful\, timely ­programming\, and works with arts ­organizations of all sizes to build a ­critical presence in their communities. The ­Concert Truck is a 16-foot box truck and a fully ­functioning ­mobile concert hall\, ­complete with lights\, sound system\, and piano. ­Susan and the truck have toured across the ­country\, ­partnering with arts ­organizations to strengthen their presence in the ­communities they serve by ­presenting ­concerts in city streets\, music and arts ­festivals\, schools\, neighborhoods\, parks and ­beyond…anywhere you can think to park a truck. \n\nIn addition to sharing original programming with local communities\, The Concert Truck strengthens relationships  between arts organizations and the communities they serve.  The Concert Truck has partnered with the Kennedy Center’s Washington National Opera\, Aspen Music Festival & School\, Seattle Chamber Music Society\, Southeastern Piano Festival\, Piano Cleveland\, Hilton Head International Piano Competition\, and Dallas Symphony Orchestra to share music and build new audiences with their local communities and has featured guest artists such as James Ehnes\, Lawrence Brownlee\, Shaun Martin\, and Jerome Lowenthal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Concert Truck created an online children’s show in partnership with the Four Seasons Chamber Music Festival that has been presented to over 55\,000 students in North Carolina schools. The Concert Truck has also worked with major music institutions such as Rice University and New World Symphony to mentor young artists in community engagement and entrepreneurship. \nSusan Zhang\nAcclaimed as a pianist with “astounding musical authority” (Columbia Free Times)\, Susan Zhang made her orchestral debut at the age of twelve with the Augusta Symphony. She has since been featured as a soloist with the South Carolina Philharmonic\, the Aiken Civic Orchestra\, the University of South Carolina Symphony\, and the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. She has performed in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre and Woodruff Arts Center as well as numerous other venues in North America\, Europe\, and Asia. Her recordings have been featured on SC Public Radio. \nSusan was a prizewinner of the Thousand Islands Chopin Competition\, the Bauru-Atlanta Competition\, the Burgos International Music Festival Competition\, the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition\, South Carolina MTNA Young Artist Competition\, and the University of South Carolina Concerto Competition. Her summer festival appearances include Pianofest in the Hamptons\, the Banff Piano Master Class\, Burgos International Music Festival\, the Southeastern Piano Festival\, and Brevard Music Center. \nSusan is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music\, Peabody Conservatory\, and the University of South Carolina.
