Concert Croissant #8

The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel is an institution recognised worldwide for the quality of its teaching and the welcome it offers. Young musicians from the four corners of the globe come here to perfect their training with teachers of the highest musical calibre. Twice a season, the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel presents a recital at Bozar featuring young soloists on the threshold of an international career.
This Concert Croissant features Chinese pianist Yiheng Wang (°1996). A precocious musician, he began playing the piano at the age of 4, then moved with his family to Japan at the age of 11. He continued his studies at the Paris conservatories. Mastering both harpsichord and piano, he is interested in a wide variety of repertoires, as in this colorful recital, which will take you on a journey from Haydn’s classical Vienna to Babadjanian’s contemporary Armenia, via Tchaikovsky’s Russia, Fauré’s French pre-impressionism or Albeniz’s Spain, sublimated in Lavapiés, a highly technical piece from his Iberia suite.
