Junwen Liang, a Chinese pianist who started playing at age 9, will perform at Stockton University’s Campus Center Theatre at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24.
Liang debuted at 13 and has since performed at venues like the Cohen Family Studio Theater, Robert J. Werner Recital Hall in Cincinnati, Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Academy of Music at the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia. He currently teaches at the Music Department at the University of Pennsylvania.
His recital program titled “From Then and Now” features Maurice Ravel’s elegant “Sonatine,” Catherine Likhuta’s contemporary “Rondo for Piano” and Claude Debussy’s evocative “Images, Book 2.” The afternoon continues with Wanghua Chu’s “Jasmine Flower Fantasia,” Frederic Chopin’s dramatic “Ballade No. 4,” Philip Glass’s “Etude No. 6” and Franz Liszt’s virtuosic “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 12.”
