Pianist Michael Brown and cellist Nicholas Canellakis, both of New York, will perform in the atrium of the John Colloton Pavilion at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics at noon on Monday, Nov. 19. The performance is free and open to the public.

The duo plays at Bargemusic, a floating concert hall in Brooklyn, and has a three-concert residency at Barbès in Brooklyn in 2012-13.

Brown has been hailed as “a young piano visionary” by The New York Times, and was the first-prize winner of the 2010 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition. He performed at Alice Tully Hall in New York as soloist with the Juilliard Orchestra under New York Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert and in a solo recital as winner of the 2012 Juilliard William Petschek Piano Debut Recital Award.

Canellakis is currently an artist of the Lincoln Center Chamber Music Society, in which he performs regularly in Alice Tully Hall and on tour across the United States. From 2009 through 2012 he was a member of the society’s CMS Two program, and has performed in venues such as Weill, Zankel, and Merkin halls, the Kennedy Center, Jordan Hall and Disney Hall. He is on the faculty of the Manhattan School of Music Precollege Division and Hotchkiss Summer Portals.

The duo’s performance is presented by Project Art.
