Chinese pianist Zhang Haochen will present Janacek’s “Piano Sonata in E-flat Major,” Schumann’s “Kreisleriana Op. 16,” Beethoven’s “Piano Sonata No. 26 in E-flat Major Op. 81a,” Scriabin’s “Deux Poemes Op. 69,” Scriabin’s “Deux Poemes Op.32” and Ginastera’s “Piano Sonata No. 1, Op. 22.”

    Born in Shanghai in 1990, Zhang was a first-prize winner of the 13th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2009. As part of his prize package, Zhang received commission-free artist management from the Van Cliburn Foundation for three seasons following the competition. Immediately after his win, he embarked on an extensive three-year tour across the United States and abroad. He studied at the Curtis Institute of Music with Gary Graffman, who also taught Lang Lang and Wang Yujia.

    At age 12, Zhang won the 4th International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, becoming the youngest winner in the history of the competition.

    In 2004, he made his debut at the 49th International Chopin Festival in Duszniki, Poland, performing the complete “Chopin Etudes op.25.” In 2008 at the age of 18, he made his Carnegie Hall debut with the New York Youth Symphony with his performance of Mozart’s “D Minor Concerto (K.466)” and the world premiere of a commissioned work by Ryan Gallagher.
