First Congregational Church of Naperville, 25 E Benton Ave, Naperville, IL, 60540

Pianist Timothy Mah and cellist Philip Lee, highly accomplished musicians and faculty at the prestigious Music Institute of Chicago, will offer music fans the opportunity to witness their talent and synergy as they perform sonatas by Dmitry Shostakovich and Ludwig van Beethoven.
Mah earned both his bachelor and master of music degrees from Northwestern University. He has collaborated with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Cleveland Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Canadian Brass. Also an educator, Mah has held teaching positions at DePaul University, College of Lake County, Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras, area high schools, and at numerous music festivals across the country. He recently joined the piano faculty at the Music Institute of Chicago and is an active collaborative pianist and coach for instrumentalists and vocalists in the Chicagoland area.
Lee began his studies at the age of seven at the Music Institute of Chicago. He then went on to study at the University of Rochester’s Eastman School of Music and completed his graduate studies at DePaul University and Indiana University. Lee has held positions in the Columbus Philharmonic Orchestra and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. Currently, Lee is a cello instructor at Music For Youth and a faculty member in DePaul University’s Community Music Division and at the Music Institute of Chicago. 
Mah and Lee’s performance will feature sonatas by Dmitry Shostakovich and Ludwig van Beethoven. Mah stated, “Philip and I are looking forward to sharing a colorful and exciting program comprised of both familiar and less familiar pieces”.
Music With a Mission founder Christopher Lorimer said, “I have long been a fan of Tim’s piano playing. He has previously graced us with a concert of piano four hands and also when collaborating with another fine cellist. He and Philip are sure to provide the audience with a dynamic performance”.
Music With a Mission offers free performances to make the musical arts more accessible to more people. A goodwill offering at every concert benefits a community not-for-profit organization. The May 9 performance will benefit the <a href="https://lovingluca.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Loving Luca Foundation</a>, an organization that promotes equality and inclusion for children with genetic disorders and other unique needs by supporting families.
