On Tuesday, Oct. 14, ArtSpring will host a true musical luminary when acclaimed Canadian classical pianist Angela Cheng performs as part of the ArtSpring Presents series.
Consistently praised for her brilliant technique and tonal beauty, Cheng has established herself as a national treasure. Her artistry has graced the world’s most hallowed venues, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and Wigmore Hall in London. Her ArtSpring performance, titled Prisms, promises to be an extraordinary addition to that list.
Cheng has carried her dedication to piano across the globe and back again throughout her life. She first met her instrument during early childhood in Hong Kong, and her talent flourished after her family immigrated to Canada and settled in Edmonton. After earning music degrees from Juilliard and Indiana University, she took the classical world by storm and embarked on a highly acclaimed career that has taken her all over the world.
Her achievements are immense: she was the first Canadian to win the prestigious Montreal International Piano Competition and has performed with every major orchestra in Canada, given master classes across Asia, and appeared in concert series and festivals worldwide. Beyond the stage, she is a celebrated educator at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where she won the 2011/2012 Excellence in Teaching Award.
Cheng’s list of accolades goes on, but her virtuosity speaks for itself. Whether interpreting Brahms, Mozart or beyond, Cheng brings expressive grace to every performance.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
Thank you to Susan Higginbotham and Lenore Pickering for sponsoring this performance.
