Come join us for a summer evening featuring Xiayin Wang, an award-winning young Chinese pianist, recently heralded by the New York Times: “Even for the most gifted young pianist, it takes a lot to be noticed. Xiayin Wang, is clearly doing something right.”

Wang will perform a variety of classical, Asian, and contemporary Asian American compositions, including selections from her newly released Naxos CD featuring the works of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin.

The program also includes the first Washington, DC-area performance of “My Wounded Head (dreams of moths),” written by noted composer Marc Chan for Wang. In March 2008, Wang world-premiered Chan’s piece at Carnegie Hall; the work is part of a series based on a set of pitches from Bach’s “St. Matthew Passion.” Other pieces Wang will perform include the works of Chopin, Ravel, and James Hong.
