Bruce Liu, piano*
The young Chinese Canadian pianist Bruce Liu has caught the attention of listeners worldwide, praised for “playing of breathtaking beauty” (BBC Music Magazine) and an “effortless virtuosity [that] consistently oozes charisma” (Classics Today). Ever since taking first prize at the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2021, Liu’s star has been on the rise, with warmly received recitals on many of the world’s most prestigious concert stages.
His Cal Performances debut program features a pleasing selection of that award-winning Chopin, Beethoven’s ever-popular Moonlight sonata, and a trio of pieces inspired by Spanish themes.
