Recital by Chinese American pianist Hung-Kuan Chen  
 

He once amazed the international music field with his album of Beethoven and Chopin's piano sonatas and won seven prizes among nine top international piano competitions. As one of the pianists with the greatest personalities of the music world - enigmatic, brilliant and versatile, he has uncompromising individuality and a remarkably inspiring pedagogue. In 1992, his right hand suffered serious neurological damage in an accident and he was told that he could not expect to play again. However, through self-practice of Qigong (a traditional Chinese meditation technique) he has regained his ability on the stage. Hung-Kuan Chen is one of the pianists who won the most prizes in international music field, including "the most outstanding artist" title of Royal College of Music in Canada. He was also praised as "one of the most authorized interpreter of Beethoven's works".

The concert in Shanghai will present a series of classical repertoires including Brahms' Klavierst¨¹cke, Op. 118, Schumann's Fantasie, Op. 17 and Liszt's Sonata in B minor.
