A recipient of FOMC’s YCA Performance Award, this brilliant, 19-year-old pianist has been hailed as “a deeply musical soul and nimble technician [with] probing sensitivity.” (Chicago Tribune)
She was First Prize Winner of the 2021 YCA Susan Wadsworth International Auditions and a 2024 Gilmore Young Artist. She has appeared as soloist with the Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit orchestras.
Her program will consist of works by Frédéric Chopin, whom she has named as one of her favorite composers. “His music has always been extremely dear to me. It is so profound and noble, but it also really tears at your heart and resonates with the human experience on a deeply personal level,” she said.
Harmony Zhu’s program: Nocturne, Op. 27, No. 1; selected études; Mazurkas, Op. 33, Nos. 1-4; Scherzo No. 4; Ballade No. 3 in A♭ major, Op. 47, Polonaise-Fantasy, Op. 61; Ballade No. 4.
Audience members are invited to meet the artist at a post-concert reception.
