Bruce Liu

Bruce Liu has emerged as one of the most compelling pianists of his generation since winning the 18th International Chopin Piano Competition in 2021. He is praised not only for his dazzling technique but also for his curiosity and artistry, which combine “nimble versatility” (The New York Times) with “playing of breathtaking beauty” (BBC Music Magazine). The evening’s program traverses a wide expressive landscape, from the rhythmic brilliance of Ligeti’s Fanfares and the harmonic innovation of Beethoven’s “Waldstein” Sonata to the poetic intimacy of Chopin’s Nocturnes and the fiery virtuosity of Liszt’s Rhapsodie espagnole.
