about
An artist with a winning combination of consummate technical brilliance, fine musicianship, and personal verve, pianist Xiayin (SHA-EEN) Wang wins the hearts of audiences wherever she appears. As recitalist, chamber musician, and orchestral soloist in such venues as New York’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, she has already achieved a high level of recognition for her commanding performances. "Even for the most gifted young pianist, it takes a lot to be noticed. . . Xiayin Wang is clearly doing something right. Ms. Wang’s recital at Zankel Hall on Monday night offered plenty of evidence for her success. Bach’s Violin Chaconne in D minor, as arranged for piano by Busoni, served as her calling card. It neatly illustrated two of her principal strengths: an estimable grasp of pianistic color and an ability to maintain and illuminate a strand of melody within the thickest of textures." Steve Smith, The New York Times, April 2, 2008 This past May, Ms. Wang performed at the new Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center. Included in her program was the world premiere of “Enchanted Garden”, Preludes Book II by noted composer, Richard Danielpour. (Book I was premiered by Christopher O'Riley on July 4, 1992 at the Aspen Music Festival). This December, Ms. Wang will record both Book I & II for Naxos. She has been invited back to the Smithsonian Institution where she will present the Washington D.C premiere of the work in March 2010, as part of their Meyer Concert Series. Other highlights
