This is a groupmuse

A live concert in a living room, backyard, or another intimate space. They're casual and friendly, hosted by community members.

Host

Jennifer K. Superhost

Junwen is originally from mainland China and came to the United States in 2013 for his studies, completing his academic journey at the Peabody Institute in May 2024, where he worked closely with the concert pianist Richard Goode. Since then, he has performed approximately 35 concerts across the U.S. and China. This fall, he had the pleasure of performing several Groupmuse concerts in Philadelphia, New York, and San Diego, and was deeply grateful for those experiences—three of which reached full capacity with waitlists. Returning to this intimate concert setting has been especially meaningful, echoing the salon traditions that first shaped classical music culture, and it’s inspiring to see how Groupmuse continues to foster such close and engaged musical communities today.
