ProgrammeNikolai Medtner
Sonata Tragica, Op.39 No.5 Franz Liszt Sonata in B minor, S.178 Karol Szymanowski Variations in B-flat minor, Op.3 There will also be reading of related writings before each piece. “And then there must be a switch that happens. One where after the performance, I’m myself again, quietly returned to my hidden escape behind walls of campanulas and clematis. A place where my dreamer’s heart can softly exist in a garden of its own.” |
Tracy Tang |
A charismatic and fearless pianist, Tracy Tang brings her emotional magnetism and technical brilliance across the stages of Carnegie Hall to Wigmore Hall. Her recent appearances in Asia featured Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto with the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra, received with stunning reviews.
The Chinese-American pianist’s endeavours have initiated collaborations between many artistic genres and as a firm believer of making music outside of traditional concert venues, the former Boston Symphony Orchestra ambassador is an active partner in local communities and orchestras, performing for schools, rehabilitation centres, and senior residences. In hopes of widening accessibility for classical music, Tracy regularly appears as a guest lecturer on musical interpretation at national and cultural institutions across the United States. Tracy studied in Vienna and Paris before receiving her Bachelor and Master degrees with Honours from the New England Conservatory with Alexander Korsantia. Tracy is currently completing her Advanced Diploma on full scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music with Christopher Elton. This fall, she joins Boston University as a Doctorate of Musical Arts candidate. Frequently invited to music festivals such as Aspen Music Festival and School, Art of the Piano, and Bowdoin Music Festival, Tracy has attended masterclasses with Dimitri Bashkirov, Hung-Kuan Chen, Jerome Lowenthal, Robert Levin, and Menahem Pressler.
