About the Artists
Christopher Goodpasture, piano
American pianist and Steinway Young Artist Christopher Goodpasture is establishing himself as a bold and imaginative programmer of the classical repertoire.
As the winner of the 2020 New York Concert Artists Worldwide Debut Auditions and the 2019 Astral Artists National Competition in Philadelphia, Christopher has since performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Benaroya Hall in Seattle, Koerner Hall in Toronto, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, and Weill Recital Hall in New York City, as well as the festivals of Ravinia, Aspen, Caramoor, Sarasota, and Port Townsend. Additionally, he received top prizes at the Serge Koussevitszky Competition for Pianists and the Washington, Dallas, Iowa and Seattle international piano competitions.
Recent orchestral performances include concertos with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of New York, Dallas Chamber Symphony, Sioux City Symphony, Acadiana Symphony Orchestra, Oakville Symphony in Toronto, and the Joven Orquesta Leonesa in Léon, Spain, among others.
From 2018-20, Christopher was a member of the New York-based Ensemble Connect, a fellowship program of Carnegie Hall and the Juilliard School, emphasizing chamber music, audience engagement, and mentorship for young musicians. He has an active interest in commissioning contemporary music, an endeavor that has led to residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, and resulted in original works and premieres by George E. Lewis, Douglas Knehans, Jules Matton, and jazz pianist Benoît Delbecq.
A native of Los Angeles, California, Christopher’s musical life began at the Pasadena Conservatory, where he studied piano, chamber music, theory, and composition. He furthered his studies with John Perry at the University of Southern California and the Glenn Gould School in Toronto and pursued graduate degrees at The Juilliard School and the Yale School of Music where his teachers were Hung-Kuan Chen, Jerome Lowenthal, and Peter Frankl. Currently, he is a doctoral candidate at the Peabody Institute, working with Richard Goode.
Richard McKay, music & artistic director
Richard McKay is a conductor of the symphonic and operatic repertory across the United States, Europe and South America. An established leader in the vibrant Dallas arts community, his recent performances have been hailed by critics as “spellbinding,” “finely paced,” and “perfectly shaped” (D Magazine and The Dallas Morning News).
McKay has worked with the Baltimore Symphony and Dallas Symphony, where he has assisted conductors Günther Herbig, Carlos Kalmar, Jaap van Zweden, and many others. He has led performances at the Aspen Music Festival where he was a fellowship conductor at the American Academy of Conducting. McKay has also conducted the Fort Worth Symphony, Dallas Opera Orchestra, Irving Symphony, Baltimore Chamber Orchestra, Mendoza Symphony, Estonian National Youth Symphony, and others. Other program highlights have included successful collaborations with Texas Ballet Theater and Bruce Wood Dance.
McKay holds a doctorate from the Peabody Conservatory where he trained with Gustav Meier, Markand Thakar, and Marin Alsop while serving as assistant conductor and chorus master of the Peabody Orchestras and Opera. He graduated with a Master of Music degree in orchestral conducting from The University of Texas at Austin, where he conducted performances at the Butler Opera Center and served as Music Director of the University Orchestra.
