Young pianist Sophia Liu brings the masterpieces of Chopin, Tchaikovsky, and Balakirev to life
Just a few years after her remarkable debut on the international stage, Sophia Liu has already established herself as one of the most promising pianists of her generation. For this Sunday Concert, she brings all her elegance and sensitivity to a program dominated by the poetic world of Frédéric Chopin. From the majestic “Heroic Polonaise” to the fiery “Scherzo No. 3,” including the famous “Ballade No. 1,” this recital continues with Tchaikovsky’s luminous “Dumka” and Balakirev’s impressive “Islamey,” a true test of pianistic virtuosity.
