Join us for an inspiring evening of piano music featuring the extraordinary talents of Joshua Mhoon, one of the brightest young pianists of his generation. Gateways Music Festival has a long tradition of presenting exceptional pianists, a legacy rooted in the artistry of our founder, Armenta Hummings Dumisani, an outstanding pianist in her own right. We are proud to continue this tradition through our collaboration with the George Walker Center for Equity and Inclusion, presenting distinguished piano recitalists at both our fall and spring festivals.

Mhoon’s program blends the technical rigor of classical giants like Rachmaninoff and Kapustin with the lush expressiveness of Gershwin and contemporary works by Eric Nathaniel. Each piece is thoughtfully selected to showcase his remarkable versatility as a performer, while highlighting the diverse voices and styles that have shaped classical music across generations.

This recital reaffirms the festival’s commitment to celebrating the brilliance of Black classical musicians while bridging historical works with modern creativity. Joshua Mhoon’s performance promises an unforgettable evening of artistry, connection, and deep musical expression.
