Listen | Ching-Yun Hu, Solo Piano
Salon Series
May 19, 2023, 6 pm - 7:30 pm
$25 Members | $35 Adults (Nonmembers) | $20 for Students, Children
As the spring Salon Series concerts conclude, the Museum welcomes Ching-Yun Hu, a bright and active Taiwanese American pianist with an illustrious career. Described by the Philadelphia Inquirer as a “first-class talent”, Ching-Yun has won top prizes at the 12th Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition and the Concert Artists Guild Competition, performing on classical music’s biggest stages, and fostering the next generation of musicians as an educator and through entrepreneurial and philanthropic initiatives.
As a soloist, Ching-Yun has astounded audiences across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, performing sold-out concerts at many of the world’s most prestigious venues — including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw, Taipei National Concert Hall, and Osaka’s Symphony Hall. Concerto engagements have included performances with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and Taiwan Philharmonic.
