劉佳銘 Bruce Liu

After skyrocketing to fame in the International Chopin Piano Competition, Bruce Liu gave his New York recital debut at Carnegie Hall in 2023, a performance that exceeded even the highest of expectations. Liu rewarded the ecstatic and sold-out audience with seven encores—works by Rameau, Chopin, Satie, Liszt, Albéniz, and Kapustin—before calling it an evening. He now returns with an evocative new program that features Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons; the Scherzo from Felix Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, arranged by Rachmaninoff; and Scriabin’s poetic Fourth Piano Sonata. Liu concludes the recital in unforgettable fashion with one of Prokofiev’s mighty “war sonatas.”
