Classical Piano Concert Featuring Van Cliburn Gold Medalist

The youngest participant in the 2009 Cliburn Competition, Haochen Zhang went on to win the Gold Medal in this renowned event

Zhang gave his debut recital at the Shanghai Music Hall at the age of five, performing all of Bach’s two-part inventions, as well as sonatas by Haydn and Mozart. He performed with orchestra at age six, and moved to the United States at fifteen to attend the Curtis Institute of Music.

First-prize winner of the 2007 China International Piano Competition, Mr. Zhang has performed with the China National Symphony Orchestra, Krakow State Philharmonic, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and has concertized throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States. He also excels at ping pong and enjoys writing poetry.

"Zhang impressed with depth of musical understanding and subtle expressive nuance... at the competition's end, he was the musician I'd walk across town to hear." - Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News
