The seeds for this Sunday's Bangor Symphony Orchestra concert at the Collins Center for the Arts in Orono, the last of the 2009-2010 season featuring pianist Soyeon Lee and guest conductor David Itkin, were planted nearly five years ago.
In February 2008 executive director David Whitehill attended a recital at Zankel Hall, adjacent to Carnegie Hall, in New York City. The performer was Lee, a young, Korean-born pianist whom Whitehill had been watching rise since her appearance in the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Texas in 2005, long before Whitehill joined the BSO in the fall of 2007.
