“The theme of my debut program is memory – each piece being a set of loving stories that filled my childhood musical explorations and interests: from the intimate Schumann to brilliant Liszt, from the thoughtful Bach to radiant Zhang Zhao. I cannot wait to welcome all of you to join this colorful journey.”
-Zhu Wang
“I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Zhu on a new piece. When first meeting him, we realized we had many shared experiences related to our Asian-American identities and cultural concepts of community, artmaking, and belonging. I’m excited to work with this wonderful artist on his debut recital!”
-NINA SHEKHAR
