Haochen Zhang by Benjamin Ealovega
27-year-old Chinese pianist Haochen Zhang performs his Carnegie Hall solo recital debut. A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music where he studied under Gary Graffman, Mr. Zhang won a gold medal at the 13th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and was recently awarded the Avery Fisher Career Grant which recognizes the potential for a major career in music. From the intimate recollections of childhood in Schumann’s Kinderszenen to the grotesque portrayal of war in Prokoviev's Piano Sonata No. 7, this program presents a series of dialogues simultaneously unfolding: Austro-German and Eastern European, miniature and large-scale, romantic and post-romantic, program and absolute music.
