Andreanna Moravec began her music studies on violin with her mother, Mary Ellen Newsom, at the age of three. Currently, she is pursuing a bachelor's degree in viola performance at the American Conservatory of Music under Charles Pikler, principal violist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In October 1997, she began her season with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago as co-principal viola. She also made her debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a section violist. In November, she was selected to perform for Pinchas Zukerman in his Chicago masterclass.
Sean Bennett began his piano studies at age five. His major teachers include Jan MacFarland, Mary Veverka, and Carolyn McCracken at the Sherwood Music School. Bennett currently studies with Dmitry Paperno under a full scholarship at DePaul University. Benett has performed in master classes for Emanuel Ax, Peter Serkin, and Leon Fleisher. He has won over 40 competitions and prizes in his 12 years of study and has been named "Chicagoland's Most Promising Student Pianist" by the Steinway Society and classical music station WNIB 97.1FM for five consecutive years. Bennett has been the recipient of a Model B 7-foot Steinway grand piano donated by a generous benefactor.
With its program "The Next Generation - Young Performers in Recital," Arts at Argonne recognizes its obligation to the younger generation. The program offers young musicians an opportunity to perform in public under the auspices of a recognized arts presenting organization. Performers are selected on the basis of their artistic qualifications by the committee for Arts at Argonne. The age limit is currently set at 22 years.
