An intimate evening of world-class classical piano, drinks, and dessert
You are invited to a private recital by the young Taiwanese pianist Han Chen in our home in New York City.
Han, a noted interpreter of György Ligeti’s piano etudes, had a highly acclaimed and sold-out show at the National Sawdust last fall, called “Infinite Staircase”. The program featured the complete Ligeti piano etudes, as well as 18 new commissioning pairings.
Han will play select pairings from “Infinite Staircase” in the first half of the program, with second half all Liszt, one of Han’s favorite composers. We will begin with a Hungarian composer and end with a Hungarian composer.
