Hayes Piano Series
YUNCHAN LIM, piano
CONCERT POSTPONED
“Lim’s performances were unaffected models of clarity and articulation” - The Guardian
“Lim’s virtuosity (is) most dazzling, yet as always deployed so as to highlight the idiosyncratic exuberance of the music.” - London’s Evening Standard
This performance is postponed to a future season.
At age nineteen, 2022 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Gold Medalist Yunchan Lim has already earned his place among the most exciting pianists of our time, stunning hundreds of thousands who watch his performances in person and online. Filling major halls across the globe, this extraordinary young musician has proved a sensation with expressive programs, technical prowess, and an undeniable passion. On the program of his intimate Hayes Piano Series recital and D.C. debut are Chopin’s hypnotically charming Etudes, Op. 10, with its effervescent arpeggios, and Tchaikovsky’s The Seasons—the composer’s poetic exploration of a trip around the sun from unhurried thaw, fruitful harvests, and winter holiday waltzes.
Lim’s performances are nothing short of mesmerizing. Prepare to be inspired as this remarkable young musician takes you on a celebratory musical journey at the Terrace Theater.
Program:
Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky - The Seasons, Op. 37a
Frédéric Chopin - Etudes, Op. 10
