A Los Altos teen will celebrate his 15-year journey as a pianist and composer with a free concert this weekend.
Spencer Cha, 17, is slated to perform 7 p.m. Saturday at the McAfee Performing Arts and Lecture Center, 20300 Herriman Ave., Saratoga.
The program will feature works by Beethoven and Chopin, as well as some of Cha’s award-winning compositions. After an intermission, Cha will cap the performance with the complete Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3, accompanied by Los Altos-based Peninsula Symphony, conducted by Hoh Chen.
Cha, who graduated from Harker School in May, began playing the piano at age 2 and has won awards as a performer and composer. The Stanford University-bound Cha won the 2022 Marilyn Mindell Piano Competition and the 2022 Pacific Musical Society composition competition.
Seating for the concert is first come, first served.
