Eric Lu, piano
A young master with a poet’s sensibility, American pianist Eric Lu makes audiences lean in to appreciate the full magnitude of his artistry. Lu is known for patience, restraint, and a refined, delicate touch at the keyboard, and returns after his rapturously received Cal Performances debut during the 2021–22 season. His recital is centered on works by Chopin, a composer with whom he has been closely associated since he won the Chopin International Competition in Warsaw at age 17. “[Lu’s] emotional depth and dynamic range are particularly striking, bringing light and shade to everything he touches” (International Piano).
Run time for this performance is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, including intermission.
