The vibrant pianist Han Chen will be presented by the Piano on Park series in a solo recital at Scandinavia House on Friday evening, February 28, 2025 at 7:30 PM. The highlight of the program will be the world premiere of composer Lei Liang's Book of Time I. Composed in 2023, this 21-minute solo piano work was commissioned by Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen has been called "one of the few pianists who handles both gnarly contemporary scores and over-the-top Romantic showpieces with equal authority and style" by the noted music critic Jed Distler in Gramophone. The program will also include works by Chopin, Price, Schumann, and Scriabin.
The full program follows:
Frédéric Chopin Fantaisie-Impromptu in C minor, Op. 66, WN 46
Florence Price Fantasie nègre No. 1 in E minor
Lei Liang Book of Time I (world premiere)
Intermission
