In Bruce Liu's hands, phrases and melodies shimmer and breathe like a living being. He gives playful pieces sparkle and momentum, and conveys the gravity of inward, dramatic works. His sense of flow and spontaneity refreshes beloved classics for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Liu's program weaves day and night, fiery brilliance and nocturnal hush. From Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata and Chopin's Nocturnes to Bach's Baroque clarity, the atmospherics of Debussy and Mompou, and dazzling Liszt, the evening is a showcase of contrast and Liu's formidable range.
All sales for this event will be handled by the Vivo box office.
