For pianist and Atlanta classical music fixture Julie Coucheron, the Georgian Chamber Players’ concert on Sunday, April 21, at Trinity Presbyterian was the culmination of a hectic weekend of unexpected performances. Her brother, violinist and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra concertmaster David Coucheron, called her in to substitute Thursday night as part of the ASO’s pre-concert chamber music series when cellist Daniel Laufer became unavailable.

Coucheron and Shi were perfectly blended throughout the performance. Their communication and awareness were telepathic, and they provided a bright and joyous performance of a masterpiece. The pair’s commanding yet gentle presence on stage perfectly aligned with the musical ongoings of the piece, and they deservingly received all four of their standing ovations.
