Programme Note
Praised as a “big pianist, big musician, big potential” with “compelling artistry that draws the listeners in and envelops them with musical joy,” pianist Ho Yan Agnes Wan has appeared in numerous concert series, most notably including the “Pianists of the World” series at the prestigious St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London, United Kingdom and the SPG Live! Concert Series at the Steinway Piano Gallery of Charlotte, among others.
An active piano recitalist, her performance is typically characterized by its expressive quality. In a recent recital review published by the Classical Voice of North Carolina, critic Chelsea Huber wrote, “perhaps the best thing about watching her perform is the joy she exudes while playing. Wan has a sort of quiet intensity that manifests itself regardless of the mood set by the music … Wan performed the music with feeling that involved every fiber of her being.” In addition to her recital tour to the United Kingdom (London, Cambridge, Coventry, and St. Andrews in Scotland) and Paris, her upcoming engagements include concerto performances in Virginia in spring 2018. Her debut compact disc recording, “Robert Schumann: Romance at the Piano,” released on Soundset Recordings label in late 2012, received critical acclaim from music critic Jerry Dubins (with the Fanfare Magazine): “… Wan plays these Schumann pieces as expressively and poetically as anyone I’ve heard, always placing her technical mastery at the service of Schumann’s ever-inventive musical imagination.”
